That's not how that works though. Responsibility is only derived from action or negligence directly (not indirectly) resulting in harm. Lots of devices are dangerous - why do you get to decide what is "safe" and what isn't?
As for who is hurt most, I would say it's all of us. Increasing regulation of every aspect of our lives causes tremendous harm to, and increases the barrier to entry for pretty much everything.
