“Itu0026#39;s hard to watch this movie glorify one of the most unpleasant people I have ever read about. Her work is specious, and her envy laden attitudes towards people who do far more to protect children on the internet is shameful.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat Annie Potts would give interviews calling Posey u0026#39;braveu0026#39; and u0026#39;admirableu0026#39; when Posey actually spends an inordinate amount of time trying to prevent other more reputable groups from doing exactly what she did, but on a larger more successful scale, causes me to have a very negative reaction whenever I see Potts on the screen any more.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt may be possible for some people to watch this movie, and separate the character in the movie from the embittered hypocrite Posey is in real life, but itu0026#39;s hard for me to do so. Posey does like making money off of her work, if you visit her website, while others would do such an important job for free.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSometimes a movie can be overwhelmed by its inaccuracies, presenting a view so slanted, that is other merits may be ultimately ignored.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis takes the cake.”
