You're not even keeping your use of the word "consistent" consistent You're talking about application of the same law being consistent over time, not laws themselves all being "consistent" with some overarching principle you think they logically imply

There is nothing "inconsistent" about making a law that says "It's illegal to mow your lawn on Thursdays but not any other day of the week" You can say it's *arbitrary*, but so the fuck what The whole point of a law is to add more granularity to what you're allowed to do

You're saying I can't ban propagation of one specific kind of "private information" without banning *all* sharing of *all* information that *someone* could define as "private" That's fucking stupid I absolutely can -- that's the whole point of making laws

Like I just said, it's not "inconsistent" at all, at best you can call it "arbitrary" (if you're a dipshit)

Some things are illegal, and other things that are similar to those things are not If that's "inconsistent" then the very existence of laws of any kind is an inconsistency
