no one demands a moratorium on pens and pencils because someone might write illegal squiggles with them. we simply accept the fact that 0.0001% of squiggles will be illegal, harmful, hateful, unethical, unsafe, etc, so we can use the pen and pencil tech to write the other 99.9999% of squiggles.
the current lobbying and legislating efforts seek to outlaw pens and pencils produced by anyone but a handful of US corporation, who only let you use their pens and pencils if you let them look over your shoulder while you write your squiggles.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoyes, and if it became, say, 10-20% squiggles we'd have a different conversation. Those 0.0001% will be fought in court. I think it's obvious which industry I'm referring to.
