Serious question: why?
Why should we have the inalienable right to exchange goods and services, no matter what the goods and services are?
Why is that an important tenet of a prosperous and free society? It hasn’t ever been one, and we’ve done well so far.
- ric2b 3y agoBecause privacy is important for freedom.
- J_Shelby_J 3y agoPrivacy is different than anonymity.
- ric2b 3y agoIn this context, what would be the difference between those?
- hahajk 3y agoPerhaps because of individual sovereignty, which I believe is the basis of our rights in liberal democracy. We have given up some of that sovereignty in order to live in a govt. We should ask if giving up the right to free exchange is necessary for the functioning of our society.
