Requiring all residential buildings have at least a single camera in every room that’s active 24/7 and is streamed directly to NSA(or whoever) would also save a lot of victims of crimes.
You could have AI detecting instances of domestic abuse and immediately dispatching a police drone to handle it. Technologically this is almost already viable..
Child abuse is just like everything else, low-friction solutions are going to win over high-friction ones. If you have to get an Android phone and sideload a shady app to get E2E encryption, many people won't even bother. In the world where E2E is banned, half of the shady E2E apps would be police sting-ops in the first place, and the other half could be seized and turned against their users with a strategically placed update. Just like with money laundering, you don't even have to prove that a crime occurred, simply getting the list of all IP addresses of people using E2E would go a long way in putting those people behind bars.
Again, I'm not saying that this is necessarily a good thing, but it's undeniable that many children would be saved here.
