Tech in general exists in a permissioned zone. I don't know what permissionless tech even means? Even Ham radios require a license, and they can triangulate an operator down if that operator doesn't have one. It's like talking about permissionless passports or something similarly weird-sounding.

I prefer to say that tech exists and is successful as a result of (voluntary) convention. Governments (especially, the EU) are making the mistake of confusing this with (mandatory) compliance. We are still in early days figuring out the conventions and not jumping headlong into permissioned compliance.

Sometimes when people say "permissionless" they mean "OK to use until you're noticed by people who can and want to stop you", right?
