Politicians like to speak in generalities to justify mass overreach in terms of law enforcement:

1) think of the children

2) think of the movie/music industry jobs

3) think of our national security

4) think of common decency (lenny bruce/george carlin were persecuted for their raunchy comedy for example

5) the sanctity of marriage

and so on.
