Just because something is technically legal doesn’t automatically make it good, moral, or fair for consumers and regular folks alike. It might mean that the law simply hasn’t caught up to reality, that there are glaring flaws and oversights in the legal system, (or that sneaky lobbyists conduct clandestine operations to sway the system in the favor of their multi-billion dollar clients).

There are tons of small things that annoy us in our day-to-day lives. Like receiving unsolicited email subscriptions. Being unable to unsubscribe from spam without jumping through more hoops than a show dog. Being forced to pay a ‘convenience’ fee for, well, pretty much anything. As well as realizing that the person you helped vote into political office isn't fulfilling the promises they made. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of some truly unpleasant practices that are still prevalent in 2022.

User u/cucutz fired up a very interesting discussion on r/AskReddit after they asked the digital crowd to share their thoughts about completely legal things that should become illegal. We’ve collected the most interesting insights to share with you Pandas. Scroll down to read them all, and don’t forget to upvote the posts you agree with. Have the redditors missed something that you think is atrocious and needs to be banned? Be sure to share your opinions in the comments, Pandas.

One of the things mentioned in the r/AskReddit thread concerns receiving unsolicited emails. And it's a great example showing us how the lines between privacy and vulnerability to marketing have become blurred in recent years.

Look, we’ve probably all been there: you start getting emails from random people, clogging up your inbox with paragraphs about weird products, news that you never wanted to get, and offers that simply don’t interest you. The fact of the matter is that your email can end up on some ad or PR agency’s list without you having come into contact with them at all in the past. It happens far more often if you’re even a semi-public person and your contact info is visible somewhere on a company website or on social media.

Remember when it was first suggested (by a politician ofc) that instead of terminating, an ectopic pregnancy should be re-implanted into the womb? Which is medically 100% impossible, but they insisted that it's possible, and this is still an existing myth in some circles? Yeah.

We’d all probably love it if we were expressly asked if we’d like to subscribe to email lists from a company before they start sending us their newsletters like a bolt from the blue. And sometimes, the ‘unsubscribe’ function (which might take up to several steps) isn’t enough to get them off your back. They keep contacting you. Over. And over. And over again. In short, unsolicited mass marketing is annoying, and unsolicited bulk emails are the devil.

ADVERTISEMENT

In the United States, for example, it’s perfectly legal to send out unsolicited commercial emails. There are some restrictions, however. Meanwhile, anti-spam laws appear to be stricter in the United Kingdom, and breaches of regulations can lead to fines of up to 500k pounds (around 568k dollars).

It all comes down to the need for stricter privacy and information-sharing laws. It feels like a huge invasion of privacy when someone you don’t know starts offering services you don’t need. We see enough ads on billboards and on the TV, thank you very much.

ADVERTISEMENT

Don’t get us wrong, the people sending those marketing emails are just doing their jobs and we’re sure most of them are perfectly decent folks. But boundaries have to be drawn. When you get an email, you expect it to be important, informative, or entertaining. What you don’t want is to have your time and energy wasted by a poorly-disguised ad.

Here Are The 50 Worst Legal Things That Should Be Illegal, As Shared In This Online Thread It should be illegal to blatantly lie to voters while running for political office. We call it fraud and jail people for lying in order to gain financially. Yet we call it normal and allow politicians to lie in order to gain votes for political offices, offices which not only benefit them financially but also give them enormous amounts of power to benefit and detriment others.

Then we wonder why political office seems so often to attract the most fraudulent, sociopathic, and dishonest among us. We basically have a neon sign over our political system saying, “If you enjoy committing fraud and are a pathological liar, please apply here… we will let you deceive as many of us as you possibly can for more money and power than you can dream of.”

Not to mention that politicians might actually focus on doing their jobs once elected, rather than getting into office and immediately turning around to campaign for re-election.

this one definitely they are all predatory there have been tougher regulations brought in that capped the amount of interest and charges they could charge and a lot of companies went under because of it which shows that's how they made their profit if its a few days before payday and you need the help they can be not so bad bud they make it easy to get loans i had trouble before it was my own fault for taking them out in the first place but they made it so easy and at one point i had 5 loans with one company they should be illegal they are basically legal loan sharks.

Disgusting, awful, and greedy. It makes me so sad and angry. Humankind are the worst predators on the planet. What can I do to refuse to support factory farming? Are there certain things I shouldn't buy so that I am not promoting this sick practice?

Big Pharma advertisements for medications.

Medicine should be something you research yourself or consult your doctor about.

It shouldn't be pushed by a goddamn commercial with puppies and butterflies while a family is laughing and playing in the sunlight, only for someone to rattle off 30 side-effects in a low voice, followed by someone saying "Ask your doctor about this."

The only thing I will say on this is the Government taking land away from those that are misusing or abusing it...illegal dumping, toxic waste, clearcutting that makes the land unstable, abusing water access, destroying wetlands. But seizing land to build a new highway or put a new government building in...no. Make the owners an offer.

I guess I will be downvoted into oblivion, so maybe this will be my last post… I have nothing against people who are attracted to things/ persons they should not be. AS LONG AS they DO NOT ACT on it! You can‘t really help who you are attracted to. It‘s a feeling you cannot control. You can call it being sick or whatever. But as long as one does not do anything bad about it (you know what I mean), then those persons would be neutral for me. Neither good nor bad. There is an episode on The good doctor where a young man does everything he can to castrate himself and stay away from his sisters child, because he found that he was attracted to the kid. At the end he even kills himself. I think that episode was based on a real person but I am not sure. I was sad for him and I thought he was a good person. He was willing to maim himself rather than be tempted to do something bad, which I think he would not ever have done, with his strong sense of what is good and bad. I hope you understand me.

For that matter, rich people that put everything they have under a partnership to avoid paying taxes on their own property. Cars, homes, yachts, planes....all under the partnership. And because it is under the partnership and it's not part of the estate, they can avoid inheritance tax when the majority owner dies.

I agree! I'm allergic to something stupid that often gets hidden there (bell peppers) and usually don't find out till I have a reaction. Then I have to go through everything that was in the meal and narrow it down and call companies to check and see. It's how I learned Lea and Perrins' Worcestershire sauce has fermented bell peppers in it, because they're under the natural flavorings.

I work in the ER. The amount people have to pay in co-pays for ER visits. My sis in law has to pay $250 per ER visit and she's been really sick lately, is up to $750 now (3 ER visits) All while we get drunks and hypochondriacs on state insurance coming into the ER daily for free, for them. The system is so broken.

Food labelling is normally quite strict in most countries. There is a big difference between "no added sugar" and "sugarfree". Sometimes it borders on the ridiculous - my lactose-free milk cannot be labelled as "milk" - it is a "dairy drink" - yet it is literally just milk with an enzyme added to it.

Civil forfeiture in the United States, also called civil asset forfeiture or civil judicial forfeiture, is a process in which law enforcement officers take assets from people who are suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing.

If 18 is old enough to sign up to fight and kill for your country then it's old enough to sign up to having sex in a video. As long as it's the person's choice and nobody is pressuring them then there's no issue.

Getting pregnant by an unsuspecting man who is then forced into either fatherhood or worse, a nice extra income through child support.

Men can wear condoms, they are their own worst enemies too in many of these situations. You can't always accuse the woman of doing it deliberately either, they could be just as naively stupid as the so called entrapped men when it comes to sexual roulette with consequences.

So...because it's not healthy to be addicted to porn we should make porn illegal? That's just dumb. Who cares what people watch in their free time? I don't like porn but I'm sure as hell not going to try and prevent someone else from watching it.
