The silence could be because they're thinking about how to respond. Immediate outrage may not be the best strategy.

  Exactly. Wasn't this plan just announced yesterday? Is text of the proposed bill even available yet? Has a draft bill even been written yet? I don't think so.

  Well, it's a lot like any other web development client. Specifically I'm reminded of a situation at a company I worked at where a group of senior employees wanted a Sharepoint Wiki set up that it was impossible for anyone to print, email, or otherwise share the contents of. We couldn't very well say what we were thinking, which was "are you stupid?" So we gave them a wiki, told them that people would be able to share the contents of it, and let them have at it. There's no point in arguing when a client gives you legitimately impossible requirements. You just say "That can't be done." and let the client deal with it.

  Very possible, but I've also known companies rush to comment on things too - sometimes within hours and sometimes not at all. So lets all check back in a week... my money is on no response from any of them and they continue to "declined to talk".
