I think it's a good idea, when considering changes of this magnitude, to make an affirmative safety case for them rather than just saying "eh, I can't think of any way this could possibly go wrong."

It’s millions of people making small changes that sum up to a large change, aka freedom. And if you want to take away people’s freedom, I think you need a concrete reason. And you need to make an affirmative safety case for the massive government powers needed to regulate millions of people’s ability to compute.
