Is "I don't wanna" ever a good reason to threaten safety and health of others?

What if I don't want smoking ban in public places? What if I don't want speed limit on public road or giving right of way? What if run a restaurant and don't want food safety laws?

What about [end to end] encryption? By using it we are threatening the safety and health of others. (e.g. the police is slower at solving crime because they don't have access to all private information)

I don't see million of lives lost due to end-to-end encryption, unlike with second-hand smoke, people driving cars like idiots or COVID. Also police mostly doesn't protect and help people and stop crimes, they arrest people after crimes happened. Police being helpful to anyone is mostly a myth.

I mean I generally agree that we should be careful with sweeping "we need X to protect lives" but is global pandemic that killed millions really the case?

But police is total, they would love to prevent crimes before they happen if they could, and would do that at all cost. If only those pesky encryption people stop making this encryption things and we get access to all the data..we will know every crime from domestic abuse to terrorism, we would be even able to predict it, with like 97% accuracy with this 'totally not racist state of the art AI model'.

All jokes aside, of course I agree with you. Including on the police point, but things like the oxy epidemic, or the war on drugs, or the promotion of alcohol, makes me question the "protective" incentives of the state.

If someone says they want to insert something into your body, "I don't wanna" is a good reason to make it not happen. Penises, babies, food, vaccines...
