MODERATORS
Just yesterday here on Lemmy, I mentioned the dangers of violating privacy, and some commenters went on about "what dangers?" Implying there were none...
Is it not enough to gesture broadly?
At this point, they'll just say "yeah, but these people did a crime. I don't do crimes so I have nothing to worry about". The problem with that mentality, I would hope, doesn't need to be stated.
I stopped trying to change the world.
I agree that these people did a crime.
I just don't think their crime should be illegal.
If this was about murdering a full-grown adult and not aborting a fetus, nobody would be talking about privacy concerns. Guaranteed.
We'd still be talking about the privacy part because it'd be still more concerning than the death of one random dude.
