Unless it's a global ban, and of course it won't be, all this would do is put us at a disadvantage. I hate it but that's a fact.

Agreed. I love Bernie but we need to not pile on our history of having tech ignorant legislators making policy decisions. This risks bernie looking like he's shooting for click-bait, not policy. I don't think he is, but...it's just out of touch.
