When I was growing up behind the Iron Curtain, we had a joke: in communism, the companies are owned by the government. In capitalism, it is the other way around. On this topic, the point is, that something is banned by someone with the appropriate means. It doesn't really matter whether it is government or private enterprise, because they meet in the backroom and coordinate their steps anyway. In the end, it doesn't matter who's initiative it was, who did the execution, but the purpose and result itself.
