I feel like I should clarify the "especially since it's illegal" part - that sounds funny now that I read it back.
What I meant was that if you are looking for porn and you accidentally come across child porn, law enforcement still counts it as viewing it and you can get into trouble for viewing something you didn't want to view. Especially was the wrong word there! I think most people don't want to view it "Especially" because it's gross and wrong, NOT just because it's illegal.
