- ChuckNorris89 5y agoI think you missed the the context here. The "think of the children" line is a cliché used in the West as a backdoor to justify the introduction of oppressive and invasive surveillance measures by governments, and if you try to oppose these measures, you can then be accused of being ok with children being harmed, so in the end there's no way you can win the argument and the surveillance measures are successfully pushed through. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_children https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_children
