I doubt it. Teenagers sending each other naked pics, maybe (but after the law passes they will know they have no privacy and will stop doing that. I fear what awareness of constant surveillance does to a young brain). The actual pedophiles were always on top of their opsec game. In this case it sounds like they just need to opt-out of scanning and send each other obfuscated links or base64 encoded encrypted zip files in text? This is child's play, there were highly sophiasticated pedophile groups using tor-only infrastructure with forced opsec and rotating identifies every month. They never trusted mainstream chat apps, and they won't be affected. This only makes it possible to track regular people.

Can't upvote this enough. Such proposal is against the privacy and basic human rights or ordinary people (wveryone is guilty unless proved innocent). Big groups making and sharing such content won't be affected by this at all.
