    It’s an analogy, the article is about digital privacy not drugs.

    It doesn’t matter what substance he uses as an analogy because he’s talking about the dangers of pushing a dangerous product at industrial scale.

      It actually mattes what shitty “analogy” he uses, because he’s implicitly endorsing prohibition and its ongoing, extreme violence. It’s a typical hegemonic tactic to normalize state violence. Dude is an alumni of the nytimes ofc. This is literally his whole career.
