First they scan for CP, but the next time a corrupt authoritarian leader is elected, what will stop them from using that conveniently pervasive infrastructure to silence journalists, dissidents or political opponents?

Europol has already stated that they want to use the means for other crimes.

The whole "protecting the children" angle is just propaganda.
