Why don't we go ahead and give everyone's security in people's hands too, instead of creating laws then? This simplistic thinking is the reason it took so long

Why don't we go ahead and give everyone's security in people's hands too, instead of creating laws then? This simplistic thinking is the reason it took so long for the Net neutrality debate to start in India and Facebook's campaign to be banned (thankfully it eventually was). No, not everyone is educated enough about the issue in hand and to decide what's good for the country, that's why we form governments.
- necessity 10y agoSo you are educated enough to decide what is better for people, Facebook or no Facebook? This simplistic and self important thinking is the reason we got so tangled in regulations and limited our own freedom.
- piyush_soni 10y agoYes, in this particular matter I am educated enough to know what's right and wrong for the people of the country. In a whole lot of other matters, I'm not. The freedom you're talking about is how animals live where anyone is killing and eating anyone - there's no 'regulation'. The only problem with that is, everyone is thinking about themselves, not about society as a whole.
