You are missing the point. It’s too easy to make excuses “for the children”. We are tying to fight against dystopia here, against a global technological panopticon. Even if this feature was made with entirely the best intentions, with the strictest controls and best audits — it’s still a cop in your pocket. And that cop always wants more. And more. History has demonstrated this.

I don't know how you can fight against dystopia when you don't care about the difference betewen fantasy and reality.

Fantasy is believing that granted powers will not be abused because the powerful claim they won’t abuse them. Yes, we extrapolate and this might seem outlandish to the naive. Some of us know how history rhymes and call out the patterns that are paving the road the hell.
