This example is particularly inappropriate.  This is not any kind of
gezera/takana.  According to RMF and RAK it is completely assur and always
has been, and the poskim who permit it are simply wrong.  The USA agencies
that forbid it are paskening like them.  That's no different than ROY
paskening like the Mechaber, or Temanim paskening like the Rambam.  In
Europe and EY they pasken otherwise.
