This precedent is problematic I think. It seems like the populist way of addressing issues. Always just following the biggest outcry instead of the symptoms. Just because there are currently more illegitimate users for a a thing we shouldn't prevent legitimate uses I think. The ratio might just be skewed because in the legitimate world you grow your audience with marketing investing tons of capital, while for illegitimate use cases, the marketing is often just word of mouth because of features.

That's how most countries work, if enough people raise a big enough fuss, it's restricted like dangerous drugs.
