It's also a huge risk. The privacy of attackers is a risk to kid safety. The privacy of messages sent is a risk to kid safety (law enforcement should be able to access them) The privacy of chilren activity is a risk to their safety (Parents should be able to view what their children do.)

  Yes, parental responsibility is perhaps the most critical component of kid safety. However, I know of no children who independently acquired and maintain a device with a connection to the internet. Are you entirely sure we need a governmental edict to allow parents to monitor and influence what their kids see and do online? Should law enforcement be able to access messages sent to my kid? I'm going to have to say no to this one.

    It's not a matter of should government be allowed to protect kids. They already do, that's not the discussion. In the same way that parents can control what kids do with their devices, so can governments and they do, all the time. Through regulation they control what software companies like Google or Apple approve for kids, and they can control or subpoena data from kid apps. >Should law enforcement be able to access messages sent to my kid?
