Have you gone to see it?

I want to go just to see if they try something. I have a suspicion that some of it is real, but that some of it is a viral marketing strategy.

The way the media is lying about it on the other hand suggests there is a conspiracy to suppress it.

I think what they are mostly afraid of is creating a financial reward for the guys who essentially became vigilanties and shut down a real child sex trafficking ring. They don't want more people going after trafickers on their own. They control the FBI and get to do anything they want with impunity. But they can't control vigilanties.

I watched it yesterday. Definitely a Streisand effect at work here, there's nothing exceptionally offensive in the movie, it doesn't even single out USA except at the very end there's a mention that USA is the world's largest consumer of kiddie porn. There is literally no reason for them to be trying to censor the movie, it's only giving rise to more conspiracy theories.

They are afaid of something because the propaganda in the news is clearly slanderous. They don't discredit themselves so blatantly for just anything.
