Really truly hate agreeing with brookings, but they are right here.
I find it interesting where the line between freedom and acceptable government intervention seems to be for many people. There must be an aspect of “what do I have to worry about” that doesn’t kick in until people explicitly see what they have to worry about looming.
- swells34 3y agoIt's the classic "I have nothing to hide" argument. Which immediately breaks down when you realize that, with enough information about someone, you can implicate them in something illegal. A case can be built against them, a narrative spun, and an innocent person spending their lives locked up. This happens constantly in the US judicial system, though I believe it is often unintentional, just human bias doing it's thing.
