So it sounds like you don’t agree with contract law. that if you make an agreement with someone or something that you are bound to keep your word. You somehow think that because you agreed to something voluntarily that the government should then act and impose new terms on the parties. That’s one reason why we are regulation drunk in this country. Instead if having a simple rule that says you live up to contracts tha…
I am merely commenting on how it sounds like you want to use government coercion to force people to do or not do things with a phone that they own.
You can support government coercion if you want. But that is your position.
Don't go around pretending like you want to get the government out of stuff, when you want the government to come in, and prevent people from doing things with their own property.
> why we are regulation drunk in this country
It seems like you are the person who is pro regulation, as you want the government to come in, and require certain things about a phone that they own.
> I dont thing we can get anywhere
I just want you to stop pretending like you are some anti government regulation and anti coercion person. You support lots of coercion.
You support a pretty darn coercive thing, which is that you government force to be enacted on people, merely because of what they are doing with a phone that they own.
Whatever attack you are making against other people, regarding government coercion, on this issue, you are much worse than those other people, because you are the one who wants to come in, and force people to do things or not do things with their phones.
Whereas, other people, instead want the government to not stop people from doing things with their own phone.
On this specific issue, you are the pro government coercion person, and everyone else, who wants people to control their own phones, are the anti-coercion people.
