    “Hello, we are ClickClock, a totally different (😉😉😉) social media company hoping to fill the void of that one social media company that recently went under. As a matter of fact, with their recent layoffs we were even able to hire much of their talent and stuff. But totally different!”

    That’s about how trivial it would be to get around this if the legislation was too specific

      Sure, and the more general it is, the more likely the government can get away with shady stuff, like the NSA did with the FISA rubber stamp courts.

      This doesn’t seem nearly as bad as that, but I also don’t think the stakes are all that high if they make things too specific.
