My take is that tech will be involved, like it or not. It’s too powerful, or magical if you prefer, a chest of tools for people to keep their hands off. Politic

My take is that tech will be involved, like it or not. It’s too powerful, or magical if you prefer, a chest of tools for people to keep their hands off. Politics is not a tech issue, and yet we have Cambridge Analytica. Social interactions are not a tech thing, yet how many social network tech-enabled products are there? Both leave much to be desired.
If we want to avoid a dystopian tech slavery, we have to actively provide positive alternatives to “just more invigilation“.
You talk about protecting children from content, eg via firewalls. What about the production of the “content”? Do you think there isn’t a role to play for technology?

No, you should always block any form of "cooperation" right there. Don't ever provide material so that some moderately talented official can build a profile. Basic lesson of pedagogy is to deny these attempts in the first place. It is what Apple should have done because it probably won't help child abuse anyway and it won't stop with this kind of content. Always defer them to investments in child care and defect their unproductive ambitions with real means.
