As long as everyone is offered the same opportunity to do so, sure.

The more you worry about that and force people to do things they don't want to the more everyone pulls away from public socialization and the less there is for desperate people in general.

I am not proposing any kind of micromanagement.

I am proposing that we should play by the same rules for everyone, whatever we decide the rules are.
