Yes populism is on the rise around the globe, but freshly enabling it with the tools of totalitarian surveillance will be totally worth it if we save just one child – John Carr, child safety activist

Paraphrased; here is what he actually said, with which I disagree
> The mistrust of state institutions and Big Tech is entirely understandable, not only but particularly in those countries in the EU which had very bad experiences in their not-too-distant totalitarian pasts. But we cannot let pre-internet history condemn children to a nightmarish internet future. I acknowledge there is a worrying rise in populist parties not just in the EU but around the world. However, it is a category and self-serving scaremongering error to leap from that observable fact to the conclusion that, for instance, introducing client side scanning is merely a stepping stone to welcoming back the Stasi and jackboots.
