So that justifies the federal government stepping in to save you from yourself? Should we have a War on Algorithms next? War on drugs has been going swimmingly.
Yes I think we should
It’s not just me, there are tons of people who are susceptible to schemes like social media etc. it’s why we don’t let kids smoke and they shouldn’t vape nicotine either. It’s why we regulate gambling, and why we should regulate sugary drinks too.
We didn’t evolve for a world with instant satisfaction, and we can’t cope with it.
To be clear, we don’t ban children from consuming these products. We ban the sale of nicotine products to children. By anyone. The federal government didn’t come in and ban Marlboro.
Regulations creating rules of behavior that apply to all actors. Not just making a law saying people aren’t allowed inside the Bellagio.
The difference is super important. Laws need to be applied equally.
