Yeah I would say once the "War on Hackers" begins to ruin people's lives on the order of 100,000s of people, now we're actually getting CLOSER to being similar

Yeah I would say once the "War on Hackers" begins to ruin people's lives on the order of 100,000s of people, now we're actually getting CLOSER to being similar to the War on Drugs.
But suggesting otherwise is analogous to stepping on an ant colony and calling that genocide.
- dnautics 13y agoWell, the point of the article is that prosecutors who prosecute 'hackers' are 'learning' from the drug war prosecutors and a culture of overpunishment is spreading. In that sense it is a 'new' war on drugs, but I wouldn't call it "the" new war on drugs; the only real problem with the article is the title.
