I know we don't like when people cite child pornography as a reason, but child pornography is a real issue. It is spread via any and every kind of social media.

I know we don't like when people cite child pornography as a reason, but child pornography is a real issue. It is spread via any and every kind of social media. Kids are groomed into sending their photos online. Enforcing encryption will make it harder to detect these kinds of distribution. What is the answer?

  Yeah this is a parenting failure first and foremost. We don't know what the magnitude of the problem is once that variable is accounted for.

  As I concealed my first puffs on a join to my parents, I'm 100% sure that my kids have access to internet without my permission.

Better programs for kids to learn what grooming is. Better training for teachers and other people who work with kids a lot to see the signs of abuse. Better enforcement of child pornography laws. More money for investigating child pornography and trafficking. But not banning encryption. Encryption is a tiny piece of the child pornography puzzle and will have little effect whether it exists or not.

Smarter kids to prevent grooming and sending pics (btw, in most states this turns kids into child porn producers a more serious crime than child porn viewer). To stop the adults abusing kids it’s hard like any other crime.

    Sadly when end to end encryption gets blocked the highest number of convictions will probably be 12 year olds, since they are probably less likely to be able to get around controls.

      Once all the kids are safely in jail, can we have our private conversations back?
