You also can't sell your kidney even though it's totally yours.

- Zetice 3y agoThey’re both transactions yes, but one has actual medical consequences, whereas the other has precisely zero concrete harms. This is the fundamental problem with privacy alarmists; despite the dire warnings, millions upon millions of people walk around consequence free after having experienced what the alarmists claim to be utterly fatal and wildly harmful. There just aren’t the bodies piling up like these alarmists claim there ought to be.

- Ferret7446 3y agoNot similar at all. Restrictions on organ selling is because if it were legal, it would become very difficult to prevent human trafficking crimes or other cases where someone is coerced into selling their organs to some rich person who really needs a specific transplant. There is no such risk of people be abducted or blackmailed with violence to share their personal data to websites.
