Well the one reason that I think I did manage to make out amongst the crawling hypocrisy, was that many were deathly afraid that accepting
any form of censorship,
no matter the reasons, would ultimately lead down the "slippery slope" to the point that they would no longer be able be to engage in activities that they deemed they should be able to do, but that the society did not. e.g. copy-right violation, ability to download warez copies of games, ability to buy/view other types of banned material that are illegal for one reason or another by local law, ability for underage people to view hardcore pornography, etc.
i.e. the fear that one day that they may not be able to continue to access material that is illegal for other reasons which they "enjoy" access to now, is more important than accepting that censorship of the internet with respect to child pornography is necessary.
