TV, radio, recordings are all regulated. Marriage is licensed, and the government knows how to raise your kids better n you. (so they say, it takes a village). Fall for whoever you want, but no stalking.

At least in the West they are pretty little regulated. The little regulation there is may only pose a problem to someone who has anarchistic tendencies. Mostly it is companies and other organizations that are regulated, not individuals.
There have always been rules in any society. 100 or 200 years ago marriage was much more regulated than today. And in the US you can withdraw your kids from public school or any school for that matter if you don't like what is being taught.
