"there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation," Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

I know the quote was originally in defense of gay rights but the premise still stands .... the government has no business in knowing what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms, or home or private space. The governments job is to police and restrict what is illegal and made available online, not in monitoring what people are doing.
