> why is it perceived as the Ultimate Crime?

Because you can apparently justify any move, no matter how authoritarian, by saying "think of the kids"!

It's politicians and governments exploitating psychology to get away with problematic crap.

It's not the ultimate crime, it's the ultimate justification.

Just like how "security" is often used in the same manner, but I agree that CP is a much more persuasive and emotional argument.
