Nothing is ever black and white.
You could prevent all car accidents by banning motor vehicles. You could prevent all side-effect related deaths by banning all the drugs. You could stop all phone scams by banning telephones.
Obviously, that's excessive overregulation. Just as obviously, letting people get away with car accidents, phone scams and drugs that kill more people than they cure is not what we should be doing either. It's the job of the lawmakers to find the tradeoffs that work best for society.
The moment you say "it's black and white, the other side has 0 good arguments", you lose the discussion in my view. If you don't understand what we're even trying to trade off here, we can't have a productive discussion about what the right tradeoff is.
- krainboltgreene 11mo agoWhat a funny comment. “You see, you just don’t understand trade-offs, here let me explain to you…”
- rckt 11mo agoWhat kind of a discussion can there be? It's very simple. I don't want any business or individual or whatever to collect any of my personal data if I don't agree to it. Right now companies do everything they can to do the opposite. And there's nothing here that can prove them right.
