>LLMs are tools, and the state can regulate tools

More and more people get information from LLMs. You should be horrified at the idea of giving the state control over what information people can access through them, because going by historical precedent there's 100% chance that the state would use that censorship power against the interests of its citizens.

“More and more people get information from LLMs” this is the part I'm horrified by.

I'd rather be horrified that people are getting information from LLMs when LLMs have no way to know what it's outputting is true.

And the government is going to somehow decide what the truth is? Government is the last entity on earth I’d trust to arbitrate the truth.

Are you also horrified how many people get their facts from Wikipedia, given its systematic biases? All tools have their strengths and weaknesses. But letting politicians decide which information is rightthink seems scary.
