past laws barring/gating access like these have shown that the vast majority of people won’t try to get around them -- and that’s actually the point. In a liberal democracy, it’s useful to have only a tiny fraction of the population understand how things really work. that small group can then be easily dismissed as extremists, just like any other fringe group. this helps reinforce the country’s mainstream narratives and propaganda since the "silent majority" seem to be going along with it.
