So, what specifically makes combating drugs good?

Did your elementary school not teach that drugs are bad? Just asking, I can point you to another number of sources if you want proof.

and how is it comparable to fighting pedophilia?

Both are crimes largely committed through the internet.

And is it important enough to encroach on individual rights like privacy and due process?

Necessary evil. Go too far in the human rights narrative and society crumbles.

I see, so you think elementary school is valid jurisprudence. This says everything about your ability to form logical conclusions.

Thank you for demonstrating my point.

I think our government is over stepping their bounds. My body my choice. They aren't doing this to go after kids. They are doing this to put more bodies in jail. If they cared about the well being of people then they would be making programs or other such things to help people. This proposal to hand over our info is only to hurt us.

Schools say all sorts of stuff, then you grow up and find out it was mostly BS.
