Let me paraphrase more generally.
Crimes, like sexual abuse, do happen in private spaces like bedrooms. Some people propose or request that all private spaces have surveillance, for example with cameras. Data should be stored, analyzed and made accessible by law enforcement in real time and without legal process like court orders. However law enforcement is understaffed and won't be able to act in timely matter on flagged behavior, which will be hundreds times more than before. Citizen are told that risks like leaks or abuse are negligible or manageable. However people are bad at security and mistakes are unavoidable. Proponents don't understand this outcome or are in bad faith with hidden agendas like mass surveillance.

I think the main issue is that digital surveillance is new and abstract, and somehow the kind of privacy issues we have intuitions about – such as cameras in bedrooms and bathrooms – don't map naturally to the digital space, at least not intuitively, so people underestimate the level of detail it means. And then there are som novel nuances in the digital world, like metadata collection and automated analysis, that are essentially infeasible irl because not even stasi had the workforce to process that amount of data.
