I mean, you said that camera thing like it was some kind of mic drop lol. I'm also not sure what you mean by "my logic", since I don't personally have much of an opinion on the law it's self, I was just curious why someone would be so vehemently against it. I'm not the original commenter that started this chain.

If it's a matter of wasted resources, I guess I see your point, but it's a bit of a reach. I don't know if it's as big of a waste as you're claiming when we have corporations trying to implant customers with brain chips like neuralink, I mean who knows where that technology could go if it ever gets off the ground. Personally I think the Justice system attempting to have a bit of foresight is a good thing.

Me: This new law is against fiction. Your example is for something that’s not fiction. Do you understand the difference?

This is what I mean by your logic. Do you understand the difference between fiction and reality?

Because surveillance never has been an issue /s. Did you just read the last comment and ignore the rest? One is a real problem, the other is fiction. Do you understand the difference?

Sure man, let's make a law about something we know nothing about, what could go wrong.
