Re: I still think this is all wrong
Whether you agree with it or not, the goal is to identify the consumers of child pornography and thus both reduce the consumption of it and potentially identify the originators, reducing the sexual abuse of children, which we hopefully all agree is a good thing. On the one hand, I agree with the principle that simply being in possession of child pornography is not prima facie evidence that you yourself are a pedophile. On the other hand, there are not a lot of other compelling, legitimate reasons to be in possession of it, so I can see why the authorities would take interest in someone who has it.
