Thus spake "Donald Stahl" <[email protected]> 
Working hard to defend privacy does not automatically equal
protecting people who exploit children- and I'm getting sick and
tired of people screaming "Think of the children!" It's a stupid,
fear mongering tactic- and hopefully one day people will think
of it in the same way as crying wolf.

Ditto; I'm sick of all the programs that are pushed with that justification. People are all too happy to give up their privacy to "protect" kids, rather than just doing a decent job of parenting themselves.

If you don't have anything to hide- then why should you care right?

On the other hand- these sorts of laws may just be enough to
push everyone to use encryption- and then what will LE do?

Arrest everyone! Have you forgotten the court ruling a year or two ago that using PGP was evidence of covering up a crime?
