Government regulation isn't always (necessarily) good for consumers. That said, democratic government is ultimately chosen and elected by its citizens - and as such, by and large, governs what the populace wants
By no means does government always "get it right" and do good for its citizens. But anyone who believe that they're only doing what they want, I just feel sad for them.
How exactly am I wrong about this?
I'm just stating the fact: Government does interfere and regulate lots of things that people "don't actually need"
You may be of the opinion that that's not how it should be, how you like it to be.
But are you honestly disputing that that's how it is, as a matter of fact?
What other conspiracy theories are you betting on?
Why do the proposed laws always include provisions for security-related exceptions for platform operators like Apple and Google? It doesn't make any sense if it's all due to dark money donations happening in backrooms.
Freedom and liberty always allow for some levels of scams and crime. If you're willing to trade away freedom and liberties for some sort of crime-free totalitarian and surveillance police state, I surely hope your opinion isn't shared by many others.
