I agree with your assertion that "..a few bad apples spoil the bunch.."
But, if you remove a bad apple from a bunch as soon as you recognize it as a bad apple, there is still a very good chance of being able to save the rest of the crop.
..Define "objectionable." Certainly livestreaming a mass murder would be objectionable, but not if you're a witness to the horror, rather than the perpetrator.
Shouldn't that be the other way around? If I were a witness to that mass murder in ChristChurch, I know I would find that objectionable....
...is that you CAN break encryption, but it's just so darn HARD.
So was 9th grade algebra at one point in time in my life. Then I learned how to do it, and I practiced it over and over, and by the time I left 9th grade, I had that bit of knowledge down pat.

For those who believe this tech is safe and secure, or can't or won't be abused: Here's a list of things you'll probably need to stock your shelves
Ascorbic acid

Natural flavor
Salt

...was designed to promote discourse among people. There are SCOTUS limits (for example, yelling 'fire' in a crowded movie house, thus inducing panic).
If you want to post something online that I don't agree with, I can:
Ignore your stupidity.
Argue my position with facts (or, just my opposite opinion)
Watch while 100 other people who think what you posted was "hate speech" rip you apart with words on that site.
You have to RIGHT to say whatever you like, but there is NOTHING in the Constitution that says there won't be consequences.....
Case in point: I don't like Brussel sprouts. I'm not advocating the banning of them, nor am I saying that people who DO like them are lesser human beings. You like 'em? Here, you can have mine. :)
So, if you happen to like Brussel sprouts, you have the RIGHT to disagree with my opinion.
I'll certainly listen to why you like them, but it won't persuade me to like them..... :)
...Ohio allows employers first right of refusal for unemployment.
Outside the pandemic, when you file for unemployment, Ohio Dept of Job and Family Services (who manage unemployment benefits) gives the company the right to refuse your unemployment claim.

Excellent points all, sir
One other aspect I believe plays into this is the bullshit "Qualified Immunity" law. It shouldn't matter if you're a civilian or a cop or a soldier.
It shouldn't matter if you're black, white or some nice shade of heliotroupe.
If you take someone's life, you should be prosecuted. Period.
