AI regulation threatens your freedoms; stop asking for it

Why this matters: This is an opinion column, not a news event, so take it as one side of a real argument. The case against AI regulation usually comes down to: rules will slow innovation, lock in incumbents, or give governments new tools to control speech and technology. Those are legitimate concerns. So is the opposite concern — that without rules, companies face no accountability when AI causes real harm to real people. Both sides of this debate affect you. The question is which risks you think are more likely to land on ordinary people.
