It can be just a matter of opinion or also deliberate trojan horse since people often don't want to disclose their poitics...
So a predator (knowingly or not) can use 'protective' reasoning as a cover... it's natural but oten very exploited

Other examples:
Health & Safety - Because of 'this' [bullshit reason] we have to do that [aggressive move/taking your rights under cover]

Jealousy/Other - I don't want you going there because it's not safe (=don't want you playing with them / I'm jealous of that family)

You have to do xyz (so I can keep an eye on you)

Hmmm very subtle hidden stuff
