You use the words "illusion" and "being free", so I feel comfortable putting the issue into terms where those words also have similar connotations: I commit a crime if I buy heroin instead of acknowledging my issues and getting therapy, and that's absolutely a problem I need to curb. I'm not even really happier with it, but I don't find enough support, better education about myself and the world, to get better. I'd be happier without, but I don't know that yet and I'm strictly convinced I can't live without it! But if I'm the guy who moves a literal ton of heroin across the border, and I have 5-10 orders of magnitude more money than the other schmuck, AND I use a mere fraction of my benefits to lobby all around and get PR firms to make other people turn away from addressing their issues and more towards my product.. well, how to put it.. I'm a tiny bit responsible, you know? Thinking that this is just an illusion is magic thinking: sure, everyone could magically address their problems today and the crime rates would drop! Suicides would drop! How wonderful. But how about we look at the actual world and offer insights/education/support to that first person, while making sure we keep the other one heavily in check or prevent harmful activity much more actively? That's better education for the former and stricter regulations of all sorts for the latter. We all have a role to play in this. This article simply talks about the pushers who rightfully deserve to be exposed, that's all. Let's please stop entertaining false dichotomies. It's not all on the voter to magically be wiser, and it's not all on the big company to stop trying to do what it's built to do (drive profits). It's on both.
