And what happens when the wrong people get in power and use that regulation to their advantage to prevent their opposition from being heard?

That's how you end up with Fascism

Maybe we should focus on educating the population to be aware of the danger so they don't fall for it instead of just throwing pointless policy at it

Bitcoin scams are busted all the time, because they don't understand how to use the correct process to stay anonymous.

If you wanna keep personally insulting me, go ahead but I'm not falling for "BS propaganda" I'm talking from experience. If you use the right tools the only way you will ever get caught with Bitcoin is when you make a withdrawal.

Tracing Bitcoin is possible I admit but tying it to a person is impossible until you go to pick up.

As for the original topic on regulation, I'll stand my ground. You can try to regulate but they internet will always find a work around. Always has, always will.

If your just talking about YouTube and Meta than our ideas of the internet is very, very different. The internet isn't tied to big corperations like you think, those are just the ISPs the majority uses.

It's untraceable until you withdraw, which you can do in plenty of countries anonymously.

My point being that comparing the internet to other industries in regards to regulation isn't going to have the same behaviour.

If I break FAA regulations on an AM broadcast they'll knock on my door in a few hours.

If I start spreading Nazi propaganda they'll trace the paper back to the source.

If I empty Grandma's bank account into Bitcoin. It's fucking gone and nobody is going to find me.

That's the difference the older generation doesn't seem to understand.

You can never completely regulate the internet and it's absolutely pointless to try.

You can regulate your child on the internet though, which I also think is pointless to try but it's more effective than the government stepping in

Actually the people have the power to remove her whenever they feel like.

That's the thing about politics, you only have any power because we all agree on it. Take to the streets, riot till she resigns.

once the Alberta separatists are running your biggest oil wells.

I'm getting real "my truck is bigger than your truck" vibes. Contrary to some beliefs, running a country is actually more than making money. I know it can be hard for some people to see past a single policy though.

The big reason nobody believes you because every single fucking pitbull owner says the exact same story as you every time their dog fucking kills someone.

If i have to place my faith in someone raising their dog right to ensure it doesn't fucking murder me, maybe it's not a good idea to have as a pet.

If you fuck up raising a French bulldog at least I get to see my kids when they home from school.
