IMO, anything dubbed a "War on ____", especially by officials, is actually about precisely this.

[-] mEEGal@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

either this or "to protect our children"

[-] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That, and "public safety".

So, just another reason to legalise them instead, available fron taxed, regulated and reputable apothecaries, like just about every expert says and treat addiction as a health issue. No need to spy on my dik pics.

Yup, exactly this. Portugal decriminalized drug use and helped immensely with hard drugs usage.

But they do want to spy on your dick pics... That's the real purpose here ! They don't care on the war of drugs anyway.

My money is on drugs winning this war on drugs, as they already did the one fought in the US against drugs. I'd much prefer that, in fact, as I like drugs more than whoeverthefuck it is that's fighting against drugs.

PS. WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

In the midst of the media uproar over drug trafficking, a law on “drug trafficking” is passing through Parliament. In reality, this text does not only apply to the sale of narcotics and leads to a heavy reinforcement of the surveillance capacities of the intelligence and judicial police. It is one of the most repressive and dangerous texts of recent years. This law could notably give even more powers to repress activism.

This bill was adopted unanimously in the Senate, with the support of the Socialists, the Ecologists and the Communists, and will now be discussed in the National Assembly. La Quadrature du Net is calling for urgent mobilization to raise awareness of the dangers of this text and to push left-wing parties to reject it.
