Here's the issue. Lemmy users are very against people losing control of their lives in general, contrary to what you imply. Most people here are against people losing control. The issue is, it's not only the government that can do this. Corporations, businesses, and other entities can take it away too. We need the government to regulate these things to protect people. I don't care to protect businesses. People should be free to do damn near anything they want as long as it doesn't hurt others. A company/their employer should not be able to prevent them from doing what they want.

You don't want freedom. You want another kind of control over you.
