Right realists are more concerned with solving crime rather than understanding the causes.

Bruce argues that addiction is not a “criminal” or a “medical” problem. In free market society addiction is basically a political and spiritual problem.
He uses logic to set up the article and by posing the analogy “We seem to forget that kids can be as tech-savvy as Bill Gates but as gullible as Bambi,” he introduces a dimension of reasoning to shows that we live in an age of technology and that the child pornography laws are defeated when they are being used to prosecute teens instead of protecting them.

He bluntly mentions that “the criminal-justice system is too harsh of an instrument to resolve a problem that reflects more about the volatile combination of teens and technology than about some national cybercrime
