Should all drugs be legalized?
Debate between a user and Bill Hicks on DebateAI.org
Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should all drugs be legalized?". Your opponent's style: Bill Hicks
TOPIC OF DISCSSION: - Social Media Platforms, not the govt., should bear primary responsibility for online impersonation scams that harm Filipinos: Terms: social media platforms - digitally accessible platforms (i.e., facebook, telegram, insta, government - executive, legislative, judiciary depts bear primary responsibility - when scams happen, they are the one to blame and create solutions for it harm - cause a negative impact to one's mental, physical, social, or overall holistic health SIDE: OPPOSE, GOVT. SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ARGUMENTS 1. Online platforms anchors their policies on built and published laws: who are burdened to create the law?: Govt. - Though there are pre-existing laws, it doesn't mean that it is being executed very well. And still, the burden for this strict implementation and ENFORCMENT still lies with the burden of the govt (executive dept.) Note: *Responsibilities of government in digital world: *Responsibilities of digital platforms in digital world: me: realization of public values in platform-based public activities cannot be adequately achieved by allocating responsibility to one central actor (as is currently common practice), but should be the result of dynamic interaction between platforms, users, and public institutions.
Look, you can't outsource accountability to Facebook and call it justice. The government sets the rules—that's literally their job. Platforms just follow what's legal or not. If a scammer runs wild on Telegram, you're saying Meta should police it? No. The Philippine government failed to enforce existing cybercrime laws, failed to regulate platforms properly, failed to prosecute. You're letting them off the hook by blaming algorithms instead of incompetence. Your own note proves it—this needs dynamic interaction, not platforms playing cop alone. Government writes the law, government enforces it. That's the social contract. Stop letting bureaucrats hide behind corporate responsibility.
