The parent commentor is the one making it "meme-driven". It is not a meme to advocate for protecting children from actual real life pedophiles.

Real life is not a meme.

They're using the original definition of meme, not the more generally understood meaning for the word today, i.e. a joke.

Meme is a thought virus, so yes "protect the children" is a meme. Politics in democracies is largely driven by such memes.

What is being advocated is not protecting children, it's the establishment of a mass surveillance state that's every single dictator's wet dream, without any understanding of how trivial it will be for criminals to coordinate and share CSAM in other ways.

If that's not a meme("bUt tHiNK oF THe cHilDRen!!11") I don't know what is.
