Personal life
gollark: Maybe require a warning or something, at most?
gollark: So inform them, don't force them to not do things.
gollark: I mean, our government does that for some stuff (drugs) and it's quite bad.
gollark: Giving governments the power to stop people who want to from doing things to themselves *at all* is somewhat abusable and problematic.
