The logical extreme there is legalizing murder for hire, human trafficking, and a bunch of other crazy stuff.
Privacy is in a different category altogether, but there's more to think about than just how much things cost companies.
- Ferret7446 11mo agoThat's a straight up slippery slope logical fallacy.
- matthewdgreen 11mo agoWe’ve had “legitimate” for-profit firms supplying authoritarian governments with phone malware that they allegedly used to spy on and sometimes murder their dissidents. The slippery slope isn’t a fallacy, we’ve seen what happens if it isn’t guarded.
- jlarocco 11mo agoThat's technically true, but I was using it to prove my point that there's more to think about than company profits. Maybe I should have used dumping waste in a river and paying workers below minimum wage as examples. Profits could go up, but most people would agree it should still be illegal.
