    There’s a difference though. Very few people would care if the government knows they bought some whisky, and very few would care if that information leaks out. But people will care a lot if the government know what porn they’re consuming and WILL care if this information leaks out

      No, I agree it shouldn’t be implemented for this. I was just using the ole’ lemmy switcheroo, because I think the comment I replied to was implying porn should be banned.

        Oh he definitely was, take a look through is profile and you’ll see comments like this:

        Because you’re deliberately trying to lead people away from God and telling people that they can trust their carnal desires instead.

          I was literally showing a person how ridiculous their argument for banning religion sounded in that comment by switching perspectives for them, but hey, who needs context 😜

      It’s an odd one, I’ll tell anyone down the pub who asks (although everyone seems to change the topic when I bring it up) and wouldn’t object to the government knowing, but I’d object to the government demanding to know everyone’s porn habits.
