Aren't we overstepping when it comes to regulating technology that many see as harmless? The recent proposal in New York to enforce mandatory file-scanning tech and in-person sales for 3D printers seems excessive. While the intention is to tackle the issue of ghost guns, it raises serious concerns about how far the government can go in controlling general-purpose machines.
Could this be a slippery slope toward limiting creativity and innovation in the tech space? There are countless legitimate uses for 3D printing, and making access more difficult could stifle the very spirit of invention we should be fostering. What do you think?
