When responsible people with power feel powerless carrying out their responsibilities they tend to panic and force the innocents into an uncomfortable or damaging situation, endangering everyone instead of catching the comparably very few perpetrators doing the trouble. I seen too many of such examples throughout the years, bigger the public outrage, bigger the damge to the whole public instead of the very few involved or responsible. Who mostly thanks, carry out slightly differently in overall. But the public gets f'd.

Most likely predators are not even 0.1% of population. It would be better instead to empower and educate parents with tools to protect their children rather than outsourcing to government or public companies.
- madeofpalk 2y ago> It would be better instead to empower and educate parents with tools to protect their children Do we think that CSAM comes from poor parenting? That the parent's didn't do enough?
- simiones 2y agoNot all of it, for sure, but certainly some amount of it. Most perpetrators of child sexual abuse are close to the child, either family members or authority figures (priests, teachers, etc). I expect at least some amount of CSAM originates from these places as well, that the child's parents absolutely had the power (and responsibility) to stop. Of course, a lot of it comes from major organized crime networks that parents are powerless against. But that then falls under the incidence of more regular police investigations to stop and curtail. You don't need to monitor everyone's chat history to be able to find and dismantle a crime ring.

- raxxorraxor 2y agoNo, and they already said it will be used against copyright infringement as well. The child abuse angle was a lie. Officials supportive here are either naive, extensively lobbied or have an authoritarian streak. Nothing really redeeming about their plans.

- robertlagrant 2y agoThey're aren't responsible. They've convinced a lot of people to pay them a fortune over their lives to be responsible, but they aren't. The perpetrators are responsible.
- mihaaly 2y agoResponsible persons = public officials, in this regard. Responsible for public affairs and regulations, carrying out duties of the society as their position mandates. Not for the crimes, that's obviously someone else.
- EasyMark 2y agoIt’s “policing” ’s job to enforce laws and catch criminals in the modern world. They don’t care about rights, Constitutions, or morals and they never will. Thus it’s up to the people who elect those who pull these stunts to fire the politicians the next chance they get and let them know why they got fired. Police are just scorpions and the scorpion will do what is in its natural. Fire the bums who make the laws they enforce, they are the real source of the new laws not the police.
