The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

    Combating drugs is good, spying is not good, you need a very transparent law that tackles the issue in a smart way.

    EDIT: Why the downvotes? Is this a pro-drugs community?

      combatting drugs is bad. it leads to a black market and unreliable product, resulting in overdoses & deaths

          Funny how alcohol addicts are allowed to participate in society normally though while no one in any high paying job is allowed to smoke a joint.

            Alcohol, cigars and then… cocaine, LSD, crack? Are you honestly making this comparison?

            Could you look someone in the eye and tell that cocaine and tobacco are the same thing?

              I am not saying crack or other drugs are harmless, but man, have you ever seen an alcohol addict? It completely destroys your body, mind and family (which you like to mention when it comes to other drugs). You can absolutely compare it to crack.

                I see, so you’re arguing we must ban both alcohol and drugs? You bring a hard bargain, I’m interested in the connotations of this.

                  This has already been tried and didn‘t work. People consumed it anyway (surprise).
