> The case of a Utah couple charged with a crime for photos they took of a father kissing his naked baby

These cases are absurd but we're talking about the EU here, not the US.



"Family goes through seven months of hell falsely accused of child porn charges after Spanish police misread US-style date in tip-off from American group"

And if this passes, we will have plenty of examples from the EU too. Here it was not as easy to crack down on people because we take privacy very seriously, but it will happen as soon as the state gets the power to do it.

See for example how we treat people who have few grams of weed on them. We protect innocent people, you say? Bullshit, we crack down on gardening shops if they're even just slightly connected to the weed culture!


I don't understand why you're not willing to entertain the potential dangers unless it's already happening. By then it's too late.
