Government can try to regulate products but given the 8 billion people and numerous advanced economies on the planet any locations that attempts to restrict products that use LLMs for proposed harm instead of realized harm will probably put themselves at a disadvantage.

data privacy law, banning slavery, emission laws, etc.

to have a fair and just society some things have to be banned or highly regulated, regardless of the economic cost

AI is no different
