I think one of the main issues is the matter of fact usage of the term Minor Attracted Person. It's a controversial term that phrases pedophiles like an identity, like saying Person Of Color.
I understand wanting a not as judgemental term for those who did no wrong and are seeking help. But it should be phrased as anything else of that nature, a disorder.
If I was making a term that fit that description I'd probably say Minor Attraction Disorder heavily implying that the person is not ok as is and needs professional help.
In a more general sense, it feels like the similar apologetic arguments that the dark side of reddit would make. And that's probably because Google's officially using Reddit as training data.
