Almost any service we as developer built "are intentionally and knowingly breaking criminal law", either you are breaking local, state or federal laws or not complying with some standards that could face "criminal charges" therefore you are asking and giving the government the power to pretty much do anything they want. M sure in most of the countries, applying this will end in people rioting and vandalism.

You're correct, but you're not arguing against what he said. OP made a moral argument, you're making a legal one.
