Yea, i think the tradeoff between liberty and privacy with security and safety is a tough decision to make and is why this hasn't been fixed with a law. Can one have both liberty/privacy and security/safety? A father living in a war zone would gladly give up privacy for not having to worry about whether or not he will outlive his children. I think a father living in a stasi-like regime may also be willing to make a similar tradeoff so that their children had the potential for a happy life. There are monsters on the fringes of the internet that do stuff like child exploitation and sex trafficking. There are also monsters across the world that want to hurt our society. Whether or not it was our fault in the first place is debatable but there are people who's job it is to prevent them from harming us. I can see the point of those that are tasked with finding those monsters. They are not ludite simpletons, they experience the horrors that some people can commit and want to prevent those horrors. I don't want to live in an orwellian state and I'm not sure the right answer is to create tools and policies that would allow for something like that to grow. But at the same time is it ok to just sacrifice a tiny portion of our society and allow some horror to be more easily committed to that tiny minority? I don't know how we find the least bad compromise or what something like that might even look like.
