I fully expect various hacker groups to have a field day with this after it goes into effect. It will be a whole new world of swatting. Find someone you don't like online, crack their website, place offensive material on it, call the internet police. Worse yet, government agencies just gained a new tool to take down and ruin any technology individual or technology company they don't happen to like even easier than ever before. The concept of competence as a politician has come up now as a talking point for the first time I can remember in a sustained way. And I think there's plenty of room to talk about someone besides Trump in that light. This bill is written so unbelievably poorly that no one knows what it means. At least not the people who wrote it and support it. Everyone pushing for it has a different take on what the standard of knowledge means and what the intent of the bill is. This bill is either intended to be misused in the worst possible ways (in which case, the people pushing it are bad actors and lying about what they want it to accomplish) or they are utterly incapable of writing effective legislation--they are incompetent. I'm going to laugh my ass off if these corrupt politicians start using the law against each other and hiring people to fuck up rival's websites and tie them up in criminal proceedings. I certainly wouldn't shed any tears if Paul Ryan suddenly found himself in front of a jury arguing that he didn't knowingly facilitate child porn on his congressional website just because it was sitting there unnoticed for 6 months.
