Except you’re not trying to ask for seatbelts. You’re arguing we get rid of the cars.

Ai being the vessel for the problem which is cyber extortion.

You handle the extortion bit by making seatbelts. Not seatbelts that auto buckle. Not cars that don’t start without one. But by providing the safe guards to the people who can then make the decision to wear them and to punish those that put others at risk by their misuse.

You don’t ban alcohol because of alcoholics. You punish those who refuse to use them safely and appropriately and, most of all, those who put others at risk.

That’s freedom. That’s the American way. Not anything else.
