Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that a law with good intentions has prefaced a loss of freedom

- jfengel 3y agoLaws pretty much always mean a loss of freedom, with the intent of promoting some other positive goal (often, some other freedom). That's why we make them. Balancing these goals is not easy, but we don't get to avoid it just because we want "freedom" as an abstraction. It's an important consideration but only one when you put a lot of people with conflicting goals together.
