Until someone you love gets abducted, and then you want them to be found right now.
Oh, sure everyone's against the cannibalism of orphans now from the comfort of their arm chair. But just wait until this implausible thing happens, that occurs to a small fraction of people ever. Then you'll all see.
Until the government decides someone you love needs to get disappeared, and then you want to provide no aid to them.
This technology swings both ways and as such is too dangerous to exist. We have plenty of other means to instantly and broadly raise awareness about abductions.
There's a reason we don't have people recently affected by a tragedy write policy regarding that tragedy, in their heightened emotional state.
