    Sure, but if that’s true then banning it with another law won’t change anything.

      Correct. It’s the enforcement of the law that needs to change.

      Specifically, enforcement needs to be automated, rather than relying on someone in the political game manually pulling the trigger. Because that someone at the moment has every politics reason not to, thus enforcement is the exception and not the norm
