But these are just technological issues comparable to other mundane ones; just like how 3D printing could make it easy to create weapons, or how the rise of the automobile has created an enormous new cause of death and injury. There's not reason to think it would be outside the scope of ordinary policy-making methods to handle them.

Also, Solving Captchas is already pretty damn easy. A combination of algorithmic methods and crowdsourcing makes it quite cheap, especially for sites using older/easier captcha versions. Captcha is not a security plan; it's a speedbump that's getting easier to pass all the time (but still, no crisis will result from this).
