The U.S. did not decide who gets to use it. The U.S. punished a U.S. citizen for violating national law. That's very different from deciding who gets to use a technology.
And what was the purpose of said law again?
If i increase the price of cars by a 1000x, am i not deciding who gets to buy and then use one? I'm making it harder to buy cars with the intention of less people using it, just like carbon taxes and the like.
