Among other things, the senators stress that all government-imposed protection tools and takedown measures will go through a consultation process, where all stakeholders and the public are allowed to have their say.
If history is any indicator, the public can have their say, but that won't be who the government is listening to. That, or it will be the clusterfuck that was the FCC's public comment period on net neutrality. Hope always springs eternal for me that Senators and Congressfolk will act in good faith (EDIT: toward their constituents), but I'm also realistic in that they probably won't.
If one has the time, click the "facts and myths" link in the article[0]. Or as I like to call it "vague rebuttals, and the straw man arguments that they rebut".
