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.

Simplistic sentiments like ‘combating drugs is good’ is exactly what leads to people to think spying on citizens should even be considered.
What about pedophilia? Should we also let it go when we give up all investigations on drugs?
Pedophiles harm other people. Selling drugs that are inspected and tested not to contain additives and are of a set potency would do wonders preventing accidental overdoses. The taxes made off of the legal sale of drugs can be used for education and harm reduction programs.
Try harder.
I don’t understand, try harder in the investigations? I thought you were telling us to stop investigating them!
Let me guess, you’re an anarchist.
Now you’re trying too hard.
I see, we’ll investigate the drug traffickers but ONLY A LITTLE. Arrest like 20% of them. Same for the pedophiles and human traffickers.
People can consent to taking drugs. Children cannot consent to having sex.
So, what specifically makes combating drugs (not specific ones, just drugs in general) good, and how is it comparable to fighting pedophilia? And is it important enough to encroach on individual rights like privacy and due process?
Did your elementary school not teach that drugs are bad? Just asking, I can point you to another number of sources if you want proof.
Both are crimes largely committed through the internet.
Necessary evil. Go too far in the human rights narrative and society crumbles.
Schools say all sorts of stuff, then you grow up and find out it was mostly BS.
I see, so you think elementary school is valid jurisprudence. This says everything about your ability to form logical conclusions.

I think our government is over stepping their bounds. My body my choice. They aren’t doing this to go after kids. They are doing this to put more bodies in jail. If they cared about the well being of people then they would be making programs or other such things to help people. This proposal to hand over our info is only to hurt us.
Thank you for demonstrating my point.
