This kind of thing -- centralized action to shield and protect people from having their feelings/wallets/egos/etc., hurt always struck me as the complete opposite way to address things and yet it's always so popular. I understand governments want people to be as helpless as possible and reliant on the state controlling others in order to function so I see why it's pushed from the top down. I just don't see how it gets any traction.
People should have to learn not to be scammed rather than trying to ban scams. People should be taught that speech is not violence instead of trying to ban speech.
If this development is what it takes to finally empower people to not take their health and fitness advice from Joe Rogan and some other internet chumbo, I say it can't come soon enough. That a few additional people might fall for these things is a small price, and one I'm willing to pay.
