Like your power? Your water? Let's all take it down a notch. Trying to save lives is a good goal. Compared to those other things? An order of magnitude more human and sensible. It's good to be cautious. So put some rules in place, sure. But to castigate the effort is not helpful or moving the conversation forward.

No, to castigate the effort is precisely helpful in a case where it results in a gross violation of privacy — potentially even impact constitutional rights directly. The entire point of this article is that other news sources and “fact checkers” are being obtuse (or simply lying) to deny the fact that a kill switch has been called for. This is typical Overton window bullshit; “no, no, that’s not what they want to do,” and of course five years later it’s completely apparent that indeed we have implicit (and probably even explicit) kill switches in cars.

  A gross violation is, driving drunk and killing somebody. Wave the 'rights' flag all you like, dead is dead and that flag is much, much bigger.

Strictly speaking those are services not items you own. (The government can't suck back water you poured or power you used) More importantly, freedom violations should be treated as seriously and physical injuries and even deaths, it really is that important. The mild safety gain is worth the loss of your rights.

I like my power and my water and that's why I make sure I don't need the government to do this for me.
