@matrix @applejack Explain who is hurt by watching a video in your computer.

@miria @applejack Nobody, but someone can be in the making of it

@matrix @applejack OK but I said watching, not making.

@miria @applejack By consuming content you incentivize it's creation

@matrix You don't incentivize anything by watching a video. Do TV stations incentivize murders by reporting on them, so should it be illegal to report murders? Or does buying T-shirts incentivize sweatshops, like @applejack said? Might as well ban everything, since you could argue it incentivizes something bad.

@miria @applejack They kinda do tbh by giving the perpetrator too much attention.

@matrix @applejack Alright so let's ban reporting on any crime, right?

@miria @applejack Not all crimes are created equal

@matrix @applejack In other words, incentivizing murder is OK. Is that the position you're taking?

@miria @applejack Not all crimes are incentivized by reporting, not all murder is. Mass murders usually are, killing your spouse in an argument isn't.
