I expect the other side to attempt to influence politicians with money by hiring their former staffers and children as lobbyists, paying them off with bullshit speaking gigs, planting opinion pieces and influencing online commentators, and any of the thousand other ways big business tries to bulldoze consumers in this country.
What's that got to do with anything? The point I'm making, of course, is that "fuck these people" is the right way to think about it.
There's no human right to make money off selling license plate data or something. People can find another business model or something else to do with their lives. Fuck them, and fuck their consumer privacy invading businesses.
- pixl97 3y agoAt least in the US the law starts at "this is allowed", the imperative then is for you to promote a law saying it is forbidden. As much as you, me, or anyone else thinks it's the right thing to do, you still have to go through the process of making a law just like the opposition group does.
