That doesn't make it ok. The fact that you and my mom have normalized bad behavior doesn't make it any less offensive to my civil liberties.

If you only think about the first order effects. This is great, we catch a bunch of kid sex pedos. The second order effects are much more dire. "slippery slope" sure... but false arrests, lives ruined based on mere investigations revealing nothing, expanding the role of government peering in to our personal lives, resulting suicides, corporations launching these programs - then defending them - then expanding them due to government pressure is *guaranteed*, additional PR and propaganda from corporations and government for further invasion in our personal lives due to the marketed/claimed success of these programs. The FBI has been putting massive pressure on Apple for years, due to the dominance and security measures of iOS.

Say what you want about the death penalty, but many many innocent people have dead in a truly horrific way, with some actually being tortured while being executed. That is a perfect example of second order effects on something most of us without any further information (ending murderous villains is a good thing) would agree on. So many Death Row inmates have been exonerated and vindicated.
