I am reminded of a conversation on Security Now where Steve Gibson recommended that each website that has traffic inside the UK to have a red banner at the top of the page to sentiment of something like, "The UK Government is forcibly watching traffic on this website."

Watch how quickly that turns the conversation around.

This argument lawmakers have here is entirely built upon the straw man. I understand the deep yearning to protect children but all this won't make the criminals stop using the tools that are currently legal. They will continue to use them. Making them "illegal" won't make them stop using them because they can still be acquired.
