Yes, we always at this level of discussion. Smartphone is a tool, not a sentinent thing that commands you what to do.

Its always the simplest way to forbid something, but I think we have to be more caution with easy ways.

A nuclear bomb is just a tool, fentanyl is just a tool, an AR15 is just a tool, and guess what ? all these things are heavily regulated

"it's just a tool" is level 0 of argumentation. What is the tool used for ? What are the people in control of said tool getting from it ? Who's benefiting for it ? Who's getting abused by it ? &c. We can collectively make decision about things, we've done it on thousands of different subject for thousands of years, history didn't stop in 2007

Now you suddenly shifting your arguments into 'its not regulated enough'. And now you yourself using level 0 argument that we implemented regulations in the past.

Look, if you just want to win this discussion then please imagine that I agree with you, that my comment is "oh, Im so wrong and you so right" and go fight in comments with someone else.
