Not suggesting freeciv should be made illegal - just a thought experiment.
So if it was decided they are harmful - you could consider the drug analogy. Making with intent to supply is illegal or being involved in distribution - not actually sure about creation for own use.
It might sound like a silly idea - but some countries have actually banned video games. Malaysia banned arcade games about 20 years ago.

- swiley 7y agoMy reaction to that is maybe the philosophy of making potentially harmful things like that illegal might be wrong.
- DrScientist 7y agoActually that's how the law typically treats things. However it often takes a different view on profiting/promoting/supplying harmful things. Back to the point about free will - versus whether people should be allowed to ruthlessly exploit others. Quite often people are allowed to do stupid things to themselves ( free will ) , but other people are not allowed to exploit it.
