Couldn't we ask same thing about financial fraud. That is should government have AI to scan every single message send by everyone to see if they are responding to some scam? Maybe direct those matching certain criteria automatically to teams of people who are allowed to read through that correspondence?

That too would be doing something. And maybe even net benefit for many individuals.




But that's expanding government's role even further to cover even more forms of abuse. Are you saying "if they're going to scan for CP they might as well scan for fraud too"?


No I am asking wouldn't that be as good reason. Or even protect lot more people.
