I've never seen a single person ask this question in good faith. It never stops. Every single day we have a new crisis involving children and the solution is surveillance, more government control, less freedom, whatever.
Nothing but emotional manipulation. None of this will ever stop crime. None of this will ever undo the suffering already inflicted. All of this is mainly justified by the debatable notion that demand for CSAM causes child molestation, the actual crime authorities should be trying to prevent. Instead of doing that they use children in order to establish the surveillance tools needed for government oppression. Using children as a political weapon should be considered child abuse as well.
