I think the problem with controls, censorship and self-limitation is that as soon as you start to introduce these, your competitor wins. I will use the best model available to me that has the least amount of restrictions, which may not align with my worldview or the worldview of the model creators.

It may be difficult to put in protections when a nation's existence hinges on it's ability to exploit models without restrictions. What you are seeing now is a divergence in offering and intent: governments want unrestricted models yet want to control your use of the same products in a crippling manner. It's an interesting problem I don't know the answer to!

It's real struggle. Nations will not likely put the brakes on because of its need for self defence. I ponder your question too.
