You are talking about banning 'G', here. The problem with excessive regulation is that complying with it can be extremely complicated and time consuming. If you don't have the money to pay for that, you either risk being fine

Sometimes I like to write my grievances on a slip of paper, and put it in a bottle. Then I throw the bottle into the ocean. I hope someday someone will read it.

Oh I'm sure the law will be written in such a way that it'll be super easy to comply. Barely an inconvenience! It won't stifle communication on the internet at all. Trust us .
