Yah, that would be a great solution in comparison, but it's still privacy invasive. Not as bad, but it's still not giving people due process.
Which, not everywhere in the world recognizes that principle as a right, I am aware. But I do consider due process a right, and scanning anything on anyone's devices without a legally justifiable reason is a violation of that.
I'm not willing to kowtow to a moral panic and just ignore the erosion of privacy "because the children". And it is a moral panic. As bad as it is, as much as I personally would enjoy five minutes alone with someone that's making or using kiddie porn of any stripe, it simply isn't such a common thing that stripping everyone of their privacy, in any way is acceptable.
They wanna figure out a way to target individuals suspected of that kind of crime, awesome. Untargeted, sweeping invasions simply are not acceptable, and I do not care what the purported reason of the week is; kiddie porn, terrorism, security, stopping drugs, I do not care. I have committed no crime, and refuse to give away the presumption of innocence for myself or anyone else.
Ngl that's pretty sus.
People are morons
