You’re right: there is no difference; they both don’t work and are unethical. The idea that someone may commit a crime based on things they are doing is abhorrent. It runs against the idea of innocent until proven guilty.

It’s the same idea as “violent video games cause violent people;” It’s not true. If you play an online FPS like COD, should we be watching you more closely because you may end up shooting up some place?

EDIT: previously said “guilty until proven innocent”
