Just recently in the thread they asked me to define what I meant by public interest and I gave examples of what I meant. They say they don’t care about the laws, so I ask them to not look at the laws, but rather what the laws protect. In their reply, they again turn the conversation to the fact that legal language was used in the material I linked, rather than thinking of the ramifications of what it would be like to not have those protections to the public interest. Going so far as to cherry-pick quotes from the blog post I linked to present them in a way that tries to completely misrepresent the point of the post.

In the message before the one you replied to, I clearly stated what I’m arguing and why, and in their reply they completely distort what I said into a straw man that they then mock.
