Thanks! Yes, I agree the state market is even bigger - China's potential market for surveillance alone is 1.3 billion and rising - but I've heard from colleagues in tech who seriously think child abuse is only a very small number of bad actors. My understanding is the "industry" is almost as out of control as the illegal drugs trade. I am indeed a SSC/ACX fan (and subscriber).

I am just going to say....That little blurb about SSC/ACX kinda caught my eye. I had/have never heard of this persons blog. And now I am down a rabbit hole. Probably for a while. But thanks for that. Seems like the world needs more thinkers like this person, and everyone, including myself could learn a lot from them.

  Telling an engineer about SSC for the first time could almost be considered a denial-of-service attack, or at least nerd-sniping :) Glad you're enjoying it!

I don't think any amount of child abuse can be considered "small" on its own given the lifetime impact it has. However, it is small compared to putting eyes inside the whole world's devices. Context is everything with this kind of comment. Without context it will sound uninformed and heartless.
