How would the government stop Moore’s law? More to the point: why would the government stop Moore’s law? It seems to be working out well for them so far. They pump a fair bit of funding into tech industries via the military. They created the marketplace that helps to drive the law forwards. They seem pretty tech-friendly.
Well, in the US, they do have the National Security Agency to deal with security issues. However, shutting down Moore’s law seems unlikely to be one of their priorities. That would cede the initiative to other parties—which seems likely to lead to other, more immediate problems.

I am at a loss to understand how you could ask either question after reading my post.
Right. So the government is doing nothing to shut down Moore’s law. Perhaps your case is not very convincing to them.
Indeed; governments pay very little attention to any existential threat other than nuclear warfare and maybe asteroid strikes.
