I agree it's dangerous but what are governments supposed to do?

In a world where individuals or very small groups of people are increasingly gaining the power to do potentially catastrophic damage using increasingly powerful technology, what are the actual alternatives? Trust?

How can society functionin going forwards without at least some oversight ?

Don't get me wrong, I don't want society to go this way, but I'm starting to see fewer and fewer options presented to Governments. I can see both sides of the story.

I wouldn't pretend I know the right answer, but I think we have to admit the world has changed quite a bit recently.
