It is insane. I see the same argument in every thread about GDPR and I just can't wrap my mind around it. I can't imagine how well represented or identified by nation-state politics these people must be that they are willing to concede such degrees of discretionality to a government.

There's a huge cultural difference where people generally assume regulators are going to be fair and even-handed.

FWIW it mostly works out.

Why even have laws then, just let the regulators decide who gets punished for everything.
