Honestly, this whole ChatControl proposal reeks of the "think of the children" excuse being used to push through mass surveillance

I think many genuinely just want to increase security for their people. Not mass surveillance and orwellian control.

They just don't understand why it's technically not possible to achieve what they want without unacceptable risks.

Similar to the climate change issue: no politician is aiming at having their children die before retirement age from the consequences of climate change. They just don't understand that they are pushing us there (like most of the people, to be fair).
