This is more of "Would someone please think of the children" fallacy in-action.
This was already thoroughly discussed, and the consensus was that privacy needed to prevail. You can either have privacy, or you can open the doors to invasive content-scanning. If you let them scan for one illegal thing, that opens the doors for them to scan for anything they want.
Examples of how this could slope down:
* Oh, you took 30 seconds of video at the Taylor Swift show? Since we let governments scan your private data, we're now compelled to forward your PII to the RIAA.
* You have Metallica mp3s from 2001? Since we let governments scan your private data, we're now compelled to forward your PII to their lawyers.
* EXIF data shows were driving on private property? Since we let governments scan your private data, we're now compelled to forward your PII to the township.

Which is exactly what this protest is for, all the “think of the children” is a charade to fight encryption. The protest was organized by Heat Initiative, which is a group funded by private billionaire money, with unknown agenda.
