    Selectively. If there are enough laws on the books that everyone is in violation all the time you can justify taking down anyone at any time.

      Yeah, that’s what the law is. Im curious about the mechanics of this, this certainly is not a new issue and AI could feasibly make mass surveillance necessary to enforce such a law easier. If that’s the case though, what kind of process would exist to confirm the person’s qualifications? Just some examples but that is more of what I’m talking about.

      Arbitrary laws as a form of suppression is centuries old here in NA.
