You didn't get the context. The question actually was, what can any government do to outlaw the writing of code/development of software for a "new kind of database"?

I told you in my previous post
Just how they can allow C12H22O11 which is sugar and ban C21H23NO5 which is heroin.
Just how pinging a poe server is not a crime but a dos attack is, it's basically the same thing, right?
Are viruses and malware attacks legal? They are just a bunch of 0s and 1s.
I a crime having a database with the SSN of a thousand people?

What makes you think government can't do that? US government already limit A.I/cryptography exports and forcing restrict GitHub account from some country.
They could ban specific type of cryptography which used on popular cryptocurrency such as ECDSA combined with secp256k1.

I sometimes think people are really underestimating what an insane government or political party can do!
If one of them would want to that they will!

Fortunately for most of us living in democracies, no matter how much you criticize the "authoritarian" governments, nothing on this scale will be done against cryptos. But good luck if you're living in Turkmenistan or other centra Asia former URSS republics.
You won't be wondering what they can do anymore!
