Lots of good information in the first half, but turns into a very bad opinion piece on free speech in the second. Putting ads on child abuse and nonconsensual videos is horrific, yet the featured performers defending "free speech" seemed confused why Visa/MasterCard would want nothing to do with it. The views expressed weren't even consistent throughout the film. Early on they explained why they wanted exclusively verified uploads to protect against these crimes, but then later criticized the move when talking about lost earnings with reduced web traffic. It was also very odd when the documentary shifted tone and attacked the site's critics calling them anti feminist, homophobic, etc as if we didn't just learn that the company was profiting from illegal images of children. Overall disappointing finish for a documentary that started strong.

Refusing to provide an accurate and trustworthy snapshot of what both these opposing factions are really about, the film comes across as a superficial exposé afraid of getting dirty.
