People know you can just not use it, right?
This is exactly why I'm against any regulation of any kind. Its up to the consumer to make those choices. Say if a baby food company put deadly amounts of arsenic in their food. That's those dead babies fault for not exercising their power as consumers. A bank steals all the money the customers put in? Shouldn't have picked that bank, tough luck. Buy life saving medicine from a pharmaceutical company and they send you sugar pills? Your fault.
Companies don't commit crimes and are never liable for them. Its on the people who choose to use them. Couldn't agree with you more. Well said.
I've been online to much today I took your comment at face value at first 😅
It's not just about not using it, it's about punishing a company breaking the law, profiting from it, and feeding an authoritarian regime.
Not really if everyone else uses it and you need information from them
Sure, but I don't really want to share a reality with people who do.
It's making them not right.
I mean, I'm aware I can simply not murder people, but I still want murdering people to be banned. (Admittedly this is a false equivalence but the point stands)
