Internet activity to a significant extent does not have national borders.

Mexico might be a good if rather simplistic "gun" analogy. Tons of illegal weapons flowing over from the U.S., arming drug runners and other criminals who are terrorizing (hmm, I suddenly realize the additional nuances that that word carries these days) the general population.

Back to computers: You can't make secure systems without having appropriate tools and research at your disposal. And we've yet to see any security effectively "legislated", especially world-wide.

So, make the jobs of those who are effective difficult or impossible -- or highly restricted and privileged through special sanctioning and/or the requirement of having very significant capital, investment, and influence -- while gaining no real security advantage. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.
