> Come on people, that old “and the children?” trope? Australian government is really embarrassing some times There's criticism of the "think of the children" trope because it's used to defend bad ideas using an emotional argument. The bad part is the smoke screen for bad ideas, not the defending children part. Putting a particular emphasis on the privacy of minors seems like a good idea.
