> New tooling just lowers the barrier to execution The word "just" here is doing a lot of work considering scale is usually the difference between something being harmless and dangerous. I think this is a blind spot with technical types as to the intent of the law. We ban things all the time that are easy to do, like shoplifting or graffiti. It's not a failing of those laws that marker pens are cheap and blank walls are everywhere. Worth noting, I haven't read the proposed law in question and don't have an opinion on it yet. I just don't think the reasoning of something being easy means we shouldn't attempt to legislate it if it has demonstrable harm to society.
