I think it would be great for someone to introduce well-crafted legislation, formed with the input of smart, savvy, educated, and Big Tech-hostile technologists, that establishes some kind of standards board to review and levy fines for things like dark patterns. This legislation is not that. It is one legislator's policy team throwing darts wildly, with the goal of generating hype for their member, not actually getting anything passed into law.

This is why governmental bodies need to rely on experts in various fields. There is no way we should require our politicians to know everything about everything, but they should be smart enough to recognize what they don't know and become educated and informed. I feel your last statement is sadly, 100% accurate.
