This is rather chilling...

From the AP:

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — As missed warning signs pile up in investigations of mass killings, New York state is rolling out a novel strategy to screen applicants for gun permits. People seeking to carry concealed handguns will be required to hand over their social media accounts for a review of their “character and conduct.”

Look, no one wants to see these instances of gun violence continue. But, having bureaucrats in the NY State gov't responsible for evaluating an individual's “character and conduct” sounds like starting down a path towards something like Communist China's social credit scoring system.

Looks like privacy only matters to some folks when talking about "abortion rights".
