> to protecting kids

Let's be clear, this has nothing to do with protecting kids and everything with backdoors. The idea here is that anyone that opposes this can be easily accused of being a child molestor.




I very opposed to the proposal of the commission - in fact I even went to a demonstration today against it. It's a horrible privacy invasion and very bad in many different ways, but...

But I think your take is not true. I can imagine that it might just be a really misinformed proposal to actually go against child abuse. I hope.


I think the poster above you is right, though. If you demonstrate against it, it is easy for someone to just say "Hey everyone, this person is for kids getting raped."
