I don't believe it is stupidity at all, they are corrupt full-stop Even if a politician isn't knowledgable they have staff (look up the staff sizes of some powerful US senators) who can get experts on the phone. The problem is that what the populace wants is not a parallel incentive with what the politicians and their paymasters want. Banning e2ee, the disneyfication of the internet, it's all old power games with a digital twist, can't let ordinary people have force amplifiers like technology because they might actually carve some power away from them.
