If the goal really was "to protect the children" then all the time, money, and effort being spent on this dystopian shit would instead be spent on the treatment of pedosexuals in order to reduce the number of perpetrators. On child support and on reducing poverty in order to reduce the number of victims under the radar. On psychological support for the victims of sexual crimes. On reinforcing justice systems so they can process the existing cases related to (child) sexual assault. Etc.
