gollark: It *probably* isn't actually against the law in... wherever they're testing it, America probably.
gollark: Technically, it's probably compliant with the law-as-written and probably law-as-intended.
gollark: The excuse for this sort of thing seems to be basically always "think of the children" and "terrorism".

It is also used to help exonerate the innocent and identify the victims of crimes including child sex abuse and financial fraud.
