I think you just put words in my mouth, which is difficult to respond to on the internet. Of course I agree with you about which is worse. Have you thought about how I can both agree with you and also believe that drawing the line is hard?

Well, my point (which I tried to do sarcastically, admitted) was that I disagree that it's hard to draw a line here:

One is a regulation with restricted scope and consequences in a system that otherwise has human rights and individual freedom as core values. (Which doesn't make the regulation itself any good)

The other is a system with control of individual knowledge at its root and then developing regulations to further that goal as needed.

So, actually, yes, I have thought about it and no, I don't think you can.
