How can you be prevented from murder? How was private ownership of gold illegal for decades? How was a farmer growing hay to feed their own horses illegal?

The government has pretty wide reaching powers.

I still have not heard a realistic way these capabilities would be limited. Ordinary consumers and corporations will have this technology. It will continue to get cheaper. How would governments not have it?

The same people who sold browsing data to advertisers have this technology.
