We should look more at HOW LIKELY abuses are, rather than COULD they occur.
For me, I think the risk of abuse, and the damage that would be caused by such abuse, is higher than the rewards.
The parts that really bother me are the lack of judicial oversight, and the secrecy clauses.
Meanwhile, drug dealing, murders, etc. continue unabated. Can we have some perspective, please, on what is
really dangerous to our society?
