Answer this question /u/LiamByrneMP. Don't run away so fast.

What specific things have you been told that you're not allowed to do or photograph by the guides?

Despite your intention, I think that's appropriate advice. Just because something is written in the law that doesn't make it "good/moral". Laws get removed/overwritten all the time, so definitely question it and upon finding it to be wrong with a strong argument to back up your position, resist it.
Edit: I get the overall idea of your post tho, to bite back at the other's edgy/off-the-walls comparison. The above thought just struck me as something good so I replied.
