  The government has made it their business via passing the law. So… ya know…

    The government can’t just declare itself just and act with unlimited reach

      What is precisely unlimited about this? Should companies be able to keep whatever they want behind the curtain and we aren’t allowed to ask what it is?

        You said that government business is whatever the government passes laws about, which literally gives the government unlimited justification to do anything and everything because, by definition, it’s the proper business of government under that standard.

      Is that what they did or did they just create a narrowly defined law for a specific purpose?

        It doesn’t matter how narrow a law is if the government has no fucking place making that law
