I'm not in support of trying to control what people do. And I'm guessing those for it tend to be in support if they believe they won't be subjected to it themselves, but would suddenly shift if they found themselves under the same policy.

That's how it usually seems to go. Individuals thinking they are above the policy and in a special class. Believing it's others that need controlling and not themselves.
