It seems to me a repeating pattern that once freedom of thought, speech and expression is limited for essentially any reason, it will have unintended consequences.
Once the tools are in place, they will be used, abused and inevitably end up in the hands of someone you disagree with, regardless of whether the original implementer had good intentions.
As such I’m personally very averse to restrictions. I’ve thought about the question a fair bit – there isn’t a clear cut or obvious line to draw.
Please elaborate and motivate your answer. I’m genuinely curious about getting some fresh perspectives.
Im the same as you. Yeah there is all sorts of nasty stuff but it always seems like there is more to loose than what it gains. Besides loss of rights there is the whole things going underground which just makes them harder to track or know how much of a problem it is. I want laws to be more about actions than art, writing, speech, and thought. I mean do all sorts of crazy searches regularly for weapons or poison or some other nerd thing that goes through my mind at some point. Does not mean im going to go kill someone. Now if I get picked up as a suspect I totally get it being something to point out in court if it showed I searched for something specific to the crime Im accused of recently or such. Not that I think peoples info should be available willy nilly but the subpoena system is understandable.
