Unless you think a grocery store should be allowed to grab you and sell your organs then you agree that this private organisation should be subject to some limitations about what it can do on its own land. The question is then where the line should be between its interests and the interests of those who go on the land.
You can be absolutist about this, that’s certainly a position, but it’s extremely far from mainstream.
- mrits 1y agoGrabbing and selling your organs is illegal. This isn't difficult to understand

- fwip 1y agoI agree, it's simple to understand. Running biometric capture & analysis on every customer is also illegal in Australia.
- mrits 1y agoTry to stick to the topic
- IanCal 1y agoExactly. There is a limit to what a private company can do on private land, set by "the government" (here it'd be parliament). You don't seem to be an absolutist about this, so we both agree that the government can and should tell private businesses what they can do on private land. Then the issue is only where the line should be not whether there should be a line at all.
