It's not cherry picking to point out that some technologies are more like arms than they are like ads, and that we should treat the creators as we do arms dealers. However that happens to be.

Okay. The article is about SV selling to America’s police.

America’s police has no problem acquiring arms.

I’d argue that, in effect, they’re already treated as arms dealers, who sell to police all the time.
