Person trapped in abusive relationship gets forced by abuser to show their computer activity which exposes their attempts to reach out for help. The fact that the recorded history exists means that it will be used for harm.

Should we throw out the browser history too then? And whatever logging your router might be doing.

And probably ban the software you can already install to monitor someone's computer activity.

Isn't this argument just the classic "think of the children" dressed up in new clothes?
