We have over three decades of evidence of the harm it does when you give the government unnecessary power to regulate what consenting adults do - “The War on Drugs” that was unequally applied, locked up millions of minorities, wasted taxpayers money and decimated communities.
Of course when drug abuse started affecting “rural Americans”, it was no longer a war, it became “a disease” that needed treatment.
And “revenge porn” is a straw man. Once you get in that area, it’s no longer “consenting adults”.
Are we really going to start regulating everything that causes harm to the individual who chooses to do the activity but no one else?
- _8j50 3y agoYou are talking about what laws should be passed and what is a good idea. I have no disagreement with that and I never supported the war on drugs. But if in the past the government had the right to regulate arbitrary harmful content then what changes in federal laws or constitution that prevents utah from passing similar laws? I don't have to agree with the policy or law to say the state is within its rights.
