I dunno man, I kinda like when there’s some sort of enforcement making sure there’s not toxic waste in my food beyond hoping I find out later and a remedy even exists to make me whole. But you do you, anarchy’s worked every other time it’s been tried right?

Anarchy isn't the only solution, but it makes a great knee-jerk reaction when trust fails. Probably the more valued (ie, safety, food, etc) the more the radical the reaction, I would guess.

I’m not even for or against this specific regulation as I haven’t read enough about the technology or the field to come to a determination. However the poster I responded to was basically arguing that regulations are definitionally bad things and that is comically incorrect even if I give some benefit of doubt to the statement
