Depends on the person, but sometimes things such as:
"Is there anything you do, watch, listen to, say or have done in the past, which is currently illegal in another country?"
"Did you see how in the US, some states have just recently made abortion illegal, and in others, you can get in trouble with the police for wearing clothes which they don't think match your birth gender? Both things were perfectly legal a few years ago"
"Imagine it's 2024 and mandateless unelected UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says model railways are offensive to motorists, so they've banned them"
"Do you think Facebook's going to defend your privacy when the government makes model railways illegal, Dad?" :P
