Googles recipes for anthrax and home made bomb making techniques
I'm gonna be judged on that
So every day I find a terms/words which I'm not familiar with (Like Anthrax). I search for it and I'm like damn I shouldn't have searched for this!
So yeah, not knowing what something is and searching for it is seems like a valid use case for searching.
It genuinely frightens me to search for things nowadays.
- Scientific Curiosity.
- School/University Research.
- Building a real bomb and detonating it on your own private land for your own pleasure.
The idiocy is accepting that researching extreme content is evil. It is not.
There are evil people. Period. Blocking access to information makes life worse for everyone. Evil people will use Trucks, Knifes and maybe their hands?
What's next? Prohibiting cars, trucks, knives and athletic guys who could be more powerful than the average citizen.
The Govt people don't believe that, otherwise they would need to arrest themselves.
They just want to do some terror on the populace to the extent that merely knowing something exists makes you a suspect. That is police state 101, it makes people turn their neighbors in even without much evidence, so they are seen as not involved.
Now monitoring who buys anthrax spores seems to strike a more reasonable balance between prevention and tyranny.
Think of it this way; going for an evening walk every night isn't (shouldn't) be suspicious. Until you're being investigated for a child missing from the house at the apex of your regular path. Then your walk might have been "scouting the crime scene".
The FUD here around "omg if you search for something weird because you're smarter than average the jack-booted Gestapo will arrest you forever!!" is ridiculous.
What the hell has gone wrong with people? When did curiosity become something Politically Suspect that goodthinkers avoid having?
