Regulation and a ban outright are a bit different. A minimum drinking age and restrictions on heavy metals in my booze are nice and didn't cause a resurgence in the mob. But I am hesitant when government trues to regulate tech in this way. Having the government dictate how my stuff works is just as scary as an unimpeded big tech.
