And so like, how do you, How do you enter into that debate in a way that isn't dismissing the very grim and real problem that is being evoked and make it clear that the solution to that problem that is being presented will not solve that problem, one, and two, will cause drastically worse problems for many people around the world? And that's the task at hand right now.

Well, the infeasibility, the danger of the approach, a lot of evidence around the infeasibility of the approach that is either kind of willfully ignored or just not understood, and then figuring out how we explain that without Being either accidentally or genuinely callous about the concerns that have brought people to the table, right?

Well, how about funding social services? How about, you know, what do you do? And I mean, like, if we're going to go there, we're going to go there. Prince Andrew's walking around, right? Jimmy Savile's walking around. You know, like what are the infrastructures in place to make sure that when children are going through this, they're believed, they're protected.

You know, what happens when it's your priest? What happens when it's your teacher? What happens when it's your brother, right? Like these are the questions that are really hard to look in the face because they implicate social pathologies and interpersonal relationships and power dynamics that are really, really difficult and often...

you know, relate to emotionally challenging factors outside of that, right? Or people's past experiences or what have you, right? So you're going right into kind of, you know, very traumatic subjects. But I don't think we can have that conversation without having a real conversation, right?

And then, you know, when you begin to pull back the layers there, you say, oh, well, the UK has been pushing for client-side scanning, right? as a remediation to child abuse. But the UK government in 2023 funded social services at 7% of the amount recommended. So the roofs on the schools in the UK are collapsing. There isn't support for this.
