I have learned that when a government prohibits something in particular it is because that activity will produce improvements for the population or for some in particular, and they always want to have control of everything, so they are not fair measures, governments manipulate and only want the best for themselves, that is the reality, that they do not say it is another thing.
Yeah, in reality they don't prohibit it because they feel like the thing has a negative effect on people, but they do because they want to control the people and don't want them to be exposed and get the benefit of that particular thing on offer.
In my country there is one particular man who says, Anything that the government bans gets a more rapid growth than when it was not prohibited. The reason is because the people have seen the government never do something without ill intention behind it.
