 Nodes regulate the network. Almost anybody can run a node, governments too! 
 You just commented the same thing twice. It seems that you don't know much about the real purpose of the nodes. I tried to say it in the simplest way. Nothing to fear regarding "regulations". have a nice day 🧡 
 Purpose of the bitcoin nodes are to ensure the integrity of the network by regulating which blocks/tx's are valid, so the invalid blocks or tx's can't make it to the ledger.

 
 I come back and repeat, governments cannot do anything against BTC even having nodes. They can only continue manipulating the brains of people who living in fear and don't really understand the meaning of decentralization and how #bitcoin works.
 
 Yes they can, as much as any other user running a node can.

It's the beauty of #Bitcoin, it doesn't discriminate users, even if the user is government.
  
 You just sound like an infiltrator 👋  
 Yes I am, I infiltrade freedom in to governments and exfiltrate communism and totalitarism 😀 
 you have been caught. 
 
 You sound like someone who should read the whitepaper
