May I cite that any angry editor doing this might be under conflict of
interest? (Albeit I think this is the most powerful counterattack
available :)

Anyway, I think they should be just sued. I don't know about US law,
but defamation is a criminal offense here. Also, I think their use of
the label "illegal content" might be a violation of some other law,
too.

PS: They talk about nude children, link in the title they say "illegal
content". But, are they talking about those kind of images:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturism ? There are nude children there,
but I see this kind of image on diaper commercials too, and some other
infant products. They are being REALLY mean.
