Just like with cryptocurrencies as a crime tool, it needs to get traction so interesting transactions mix with ordinary ones. Making the list of deviating individuals (that won't be leaked in a week, I promise) singles them out as the ones you do want to spy on. Proponents of this law are both evil and stupid.
I know why they want to control digital space and I know they won't leave it alone but still there are a lot of disadvantages to the control that law-obedient people understand and hate. The current situation has a lot of injustice towards them that surely helps fighting crime but the price is way too high. Even completely prohibiting usage of the internet for minors isn't possible because it's a law that's impossible to enforce. There will always be compromises and issues in this space as in many other ones. This is why it's hard or even impossible to have happiness in such a complicated world. The more controversial things there are, the more arguments and issues appear.
