@ckeen @kaniini The ocap community has a phrase that's not quite right: "We don't prohibit what we can't prevent." I don't 100% agree, because there are some things we do want to prohibit that we can't prevent, but where the consequences may be social rather than technical. But it's *close* to being correct.

So my alternative phrase is: "We shouldn't pretend we can prevent what we can't." Pretending to do so worsens a problem because it presents an opportunity for bad actors to violate it.
