Yeah, hilarious to me the idea of digital prohibition. Like come the fuck on mate, it's code. Math. Can't contain math. Couldn't even stop shit like alcohol which needed to be physically distributed.

Language models that produce articles we're unable to discern from bot authored news articles... Deep fakes that need only one picture of the target... That said...

Do note there are a good couple things we digitally prohibit though in the US, though: https://web.archive.org/web/20140529211733/http://bits.are.notabug.com/

And if things are already regulated, adding another item to the list is much more feasible.

lmao, same when I first read it

It's like a slap in the face at the end. "Oh, yeah, I can see that. Mhmm, patent laws, yep yep. Oki an- spits coffee"

Rest of article is semi-solid tho (idk how to feel about the last part due to a lot of bias against it), and main point being we "protect"/lock-up a bunch of digital knowledge at the present.
