We have laws to ban poisons from food, but we don't ban junk food altogether. We have laws to cap the speed limit, but not at 30mph on a highway - etc etc. We pick a spot on the spectrum.

Surely some laws are for exactly that? Like: murder, rape, theft, etc?

I'm taking your statement a bit out of context, and I don't have much involvement in this overall issue being discussed, but that statement on its own seems pretty off to me.

As far as I can see they are a good way to there, so yes? To the extent possible the powerfull is banning or attempting to ban everythjng they don’t like.

> the powerless banning everything they didn’t like

If the powerless bans everything they didn’t like then they are not powerless. That is the definition of power.
