The system able to do that will have to be designed by someone and maintained by someone, because it cannot just appear out of thin air, work perfectly and never have bugs. So, ultimately there will be someones with enough power to change the way every single thing in the system operates and therefore enough power to destroy the system.

Which is fine, but seems like a roundabout way to do it.
