For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.
I’ve been saying this for years. Not only that but once legal and in the regular market, companies are held liable for any additives not clearly labeled. No cutting your heroin with fentanyl unless you label it as such (bonus points if you have to give ratios of each ingredient) but aren’t on the hook if someone goes against label usage.
This protects both the consumer and provider.
Similarly, we should fully legalize prostitution. Want to kill the sex trafficking problem? Legalize prostitution, allow the workers to unionize, get legal support, and other securities that the normal blue and white collar workers have.
In a win for unionizing sex work (albeit in a different form than prostitution), a group of strippers in a Portland Oregon strip club have unionized!
That’s actually fucking dope. Anyone know how the union is doing ~1 year later?
