You don't like some features being added to products so you want laws against adding certain features?

I might not like a certain feature, but I'd dislike the government preventing companies from adding features a whole lot more. The thought of that terrifies me.

(To be clear, legitimate regulations around privacy, user data, anti-fraud, etc. are fine. But just because you find AI features to be something you don't... like? That's not a legitimate reason for government intervention.)

I think it's more about enforcing having easy mechanisms to opt out, which seem to be absent with regards to AI integration.

It's better to assume good faith when providing a counter argument.
