When the "won't anyone please think of the children?" brigade try to run "surveys" to make it look as if some selection of people (likely their own supporters or staff) supports their censorship efforts, it is usually filled with leading questions.

Leading questions like "what if your own children were the ones being abused?", a strong frame about the status quo being equivalent to inaction (despite this being demonstrably false), and them otherwise trying really hard to try to influence someone's answer towards what they want them to answer.

They also lean heavily on "something must be done", although they're often vague and don't mention what that something is.
