    That’s the thing, the last time the government did something this sweeping without showing it’s evidence, me and a few hundred thousand of my best buddies got sent to Iraq.

      Banning a SM app is nothing like declaring a War on Terror. For the record, I opposed both, as well as the War in Afghanistan. I’m sorry you were sent to fight in a pointless war.

        Oh I’m not saying the damage is equivalent. But generally the government needs to show it’s work in a democracy, if we want to keep the democracy.

          Oh yeah, agreed. And ideally, that should come well before a policy change unless there’s an imminent threat.
