The City Attorney’s Office sent the tech giants cease-and-desist letters this week telling them to stop profiting from 13 “face-swap” apps that are overwhelmingly used to target women and girls.
Living through this has taught me that while I was a strong federalist to try and guarantee rights and build out what I think will help society
the thing i’ve learned is that even if there’s no fascist, and everybody does their best, things can still go horribly wrong because cultural differences aren’t respected. for example, in one country, tattoos are illegal because they’re associated with organized crime. in one small village though, tattoos are an ancient and sacred art and outlawing them does a lot of harm. so even when the politicians try their best to “clean up the place”, cultural differences lead to damage to minorities. that’s why federal politics shouldn’t regulate anything that’s non-commercial. in general, this is a reply to your comment, and has nothing to do with this post specifically.
I disagree that federal politics shouldn’t regulate anything non-commercial. I would argue that its primary purpose should be to enshrined minimal standards for, among other things, things like civil liberties. Part of establishing and protecting civil libierties means regulating discrimination and disenfranchisement to AT LEAST a baseline of equality across every state.
