By that logic:

Are we going to ban and regulate Photoshop and GIMP because bad people use them to create false imagery for propaganda?

Actually, back that up for a second.

Are we going to ban and regulate computers (enterprise and personal) because bad people use them for bad things?

Are we going to ban and regulate speech because bad people say bad things?

Are we going to ban and regulate hands because bad people use them to do bad things?

The buck always starts and stops at the person doing the act. A tool is just a tool, blaming the tool is nothing but an act of scapegoating.
