Yes it is difficult

Obviously anyone in their right mind would agree with tracking down and prosecuting these child-molesting fuckers.

However, of course this wouldn't be limited to child abusers. Governments around the world would start to use it against their bogeyman groups. Uighurs in China? Gays in Eastern Europe? Pregnant Texans discussing abortion? Opposition support groups in many African countries?

So, basically government snooping coming soon to a FB Group near you...
