I think you're referring to the US, but we've already banned most unpaid internships. They're only allowed in specific circumstances, including when they're mostly educational and do not displace any potential paid workers. That said, it's definitely underenforced. Most unpaid internships probably don't follow the rules. When it is enforced, the penalty is typically no more than a slap on the wrist + back pay at minimum wage.
