  The same kids who need a secure line of communication with authorities and aid workers and councilors and places to report the abuse and… you get the idea. Those kids would NOT have liked this at all.

    Or like when Republicans in the US decided to start outing kids because they confided in a teacher. The right wing in the EU would be able to say “being gay or trans is a mental illness, for their own safety we are going to read their texts and put them in a mental hospital if they mention it to anyone”.
