> I don't think this bill is going anywhere
You can actually also tell that by the fact that the article states that privacy regulations are backed by FAANG or similar et al. They think that an eventual bill would be so watered down or not matter that they don't even mind stating up front that they support such a bill.
This is similar to a technique that I have used with my wife. She wants to know say if we can do this or that at some future date. I know that we won't end up doing it so I don't put up a fight (even though I don't agree) and I actually support it fully. Later if it looks like it might happen I use my initial agreement to change the exact terms and she is less likely to think I am gaming her. Or figure out some other way out.
Curious if others think this is wrong and sneaky or smart.
