The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop caring about anyone fighting for their freedom. And one day, you might be one of them.

    Calling someone’s opinion “incorrect” shows the true nature of you and the people you represent.

      Abortion should be illegal because it violates the UDHR.

      This is an (unsubstantiated) allegation of fact, not an opinion.

        I agree because someone told me that the law was edited but the person who replied clearly said “opinion”, not “information”. I do believe that was a sign of toxicity and not just laziness or English issue. As a proof, my own psychological researches confirm that people from similar communities tend to exhibit increased irritability, toxicity and desire of creating exclusive communities.

        Then they should’ve used a different word. “Incorrect opinion” is what only a toxic person would say.

          Can you just take a second to reflect on how inelegantly you have taken being wrong? You made an incorrect assertion of a fact, just accept you made a mistake and move on. Being stubborn and defensive makes you look kind of immature.

          Hope you can take this advice

              Yes you admitted your mistake. And yes you still acted a bit foolish. That’s not a false accusation, it’s just an accusation.

              (THIS is an example of an opinion)

                You accused me in not admitting my mistake after I admitted it. How in the world is this not a false accusation? And what does it have to do with opinions? I know people are toxic now but I’m being surprised by the stupidity of their words every day recently.

      Lol the fact that you think someone presenting a different opinion means they represent anyone is silly, stop perpetuating the politics = sports teams mentality
