If people kept a better eye on their kids and didn't let them lose on the internet or float about after school, then that's a more efficient way to keep them safe from pedophiles! The odds of becoming a victim of the pedophile is not high at all, and there are much bigger risks, like for example being hurt in a car accident.
It's a poor excuse and totally over the top for stifling free speech online and behaving like some kind of modern day Stasi. In fact it's a kind of blackmail to say that "unless you are in favour of spying on eveyrone online, you support pedophiles".

Same thing with terrorism. Terrorism will calm down the minute US and European troops pull out of all Middle Eastern countries and leave them alone. Foreign meddling in this area is the states reasons for all terrorist attacks taking place in Europe or the USA - and the number of such attacks is not high to begin with. Integrating existing Moslems in Europe/USA and not allowing any more into Europe. But it seems the powers to be has decided it's more convenient to continue to exploit their countries for oil and other assets, to continue keeping bases there against the will of the locals and instead spy on everyone to catch the potential opponents of this policy.
