    There are a lot of problems with that stance and I do not have the energy to point them all out, but here is the main one I see.

    If you say something in private is illegal, how do you enforce it? Many harmful drugs are illegal, for example, so we justify invasions of privacy with searches of a suspect because the harm of the drugs is so great we are okay with violating people like that.

    When you say digital content is illegal in private it justifies searching digital content for enforcement. But the trouble with this is it is digital content and programs can be used to search it…continuously. This sort of search needs to scan EVERYTHING of yours in private. Once you have that, they can add more search criteria and you won’t even know it’s happening.

    You have no idea how bad this can get. I hope that you don’t find out.
