The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

It is downvoted because you appear to think that more drug laws are the way to address the opiate addiction public health crisis.

crisis

Why is it a crisis? I thought you believed drugs were good!! Isn't it almost an utopic situation with all the opiate addicts around? Is this not what you were looking for?

Where did I say ‘drugs are good’?

[–] Raphael@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, are you not a pro-drugs individual? I'm being chased by those who defend drug abuse and a lawless society, sorry if I mistook you for one of the evil-doers.

Eh no, you are repeatedly and dishonestly conflating ‘it’s a public health problem not a criminal justice problem’ with ‘I love all the drugs’. I think I’m done. Arguing with clowns is pointless.

You either defend drugs or you oppose them. Can't look all hipster and defend strict control at the same time.

false dichotomy followed by strawman. You are clowning yourself.
