What about [end to end] encryption? By using it we are threatening the safety and health of others. (e.g. the police is slower at solving crime because they don't have access to all private information)
I mean I generally agree that we should be careful with sweeping "we need X to protect lives" but is global pandemic that killed millions really the case?
All jokes aside, of course I agree with you. Including on the police point, but things like the oxy epidemic, or the war on drugs, or the promotion of alcohol, makes me question the "protective" incentives of the state.
