You should read some of the discussion on this here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37958473 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37958473 This is largely being pushed by people related to an organisation called "Thorn". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37958473#37962743 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37958473#37962743 Thorn seems to be related to US tech companies. Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Palantir, are all mentioned on the wayback machine version of their website as "tech taskforce" mebers. My interpretation would be that US tech is pushing this law because they know there is money to be made here (providing the scanning systems and collecting as much data as they can).
