Deaton emphasized the importance of investigating Operation Chokepoint 2.0, warning that failure to do so could set a dangerous precedent for regulatory bodies to suppress individuals or entities they disapprove of. He urged for action to be taken, stating that ignoring this issue would have serious consequences. To illustrate his point, Deaton referenced the potential consequences of allowing Operation Chokepoint 2.0 to continue unchecked, using the example of a recent image depicting the suppression of a person by a regulatory body. The image, which can be seen on the right, shows a person being held down by a regulatory body, symbolizing the potential suppression of individuals or entities by regulatory bodies if Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is not addressed.
