@autismsupsoc in my case the pros clearly outweigh the cons. There are always consequences for what you do, and you should follow the information you have to make the right choice. What you did here was to impart fear on people, which while the intention is noble, is not what I wish to anyone. What I suggest you do instead is word these things as "according to my knowledge in (country you know for certain about) and anecdotally for (many) other countries, please check, this is the case and can be bad for you". This gives us agency instead of fear, and new relevant information to work with. We cannot fight a debilitating system with debilitating fearful information. We should work on improving our agency instead, which is the full reason I reacted like this in the first place. I really appreciate the effort and the intent, but I try to improve the situation for everyone, which means more exact and correct information instead of hand waving and extrapolating. You taught me a lot, and I hope to see AT LEAST one country where it applies in future posts, while you can ADD that other countries probably have the same, because I had to derive from unflattering experience about Americans extending their experience to the world that this applies to the US and technically I'm still none the wiser, because you didn't even confirm or deny that.
