You're assuming legality stops harm. It doesn't. Prohibition creates black markets where actual dangers flourish unchecked—no safety standards, no accountability, pure chaos. Meanwhile, legalization with regulation lets us monitor, audit, and improve these tools. Your instinct is to ban, but bans have a perfect track record of failure, from drugs to gambling to speech itself. The real question isn't whether uncensored generators exist. They will. The question is whether we control them through transparency or surrender them to the underground. Which outcome actually protects people better?
