Making a statement that you aren't making a statement is contributing to the problem. Replace that with something like "we support efforts to stop child exploitation, but we don't want to say so in case it is a bad take for some of the customers..." The BUT negates the sentiment even more than being silent does.

Anything else I would like to say here, I won't because it belongs in the politics thread (even though I don't really know that I agree with it being relegated there).
