The bill doesn't criminalize anything, because it is not a law for god sake. It's a proposal for a law that a small group of lawmakers drafted. That draft is then reviewed, if it has any merit it goes to the House where needs to be debated, changed and voted, then goes to the Senate to repeat the process, before it can be sent to the president to turn into law. Some bills are ridiculously bold, that's why very few become law and ZERO of them without lots of amendments. Bold bills like this one get picked up by the media for obvious reasons, and some people read it like it's an imminent law to be enacted and enforced. It is important to read them of course and to know who's behind them, because in America we have the opportunity to call our representatives to raise our concerns and complain. It is not the first bold bill to be drafted and won't be the last one, that's why 96% bills don't go anywhere. This is how our system works since 1789. My wife is Russian by the way and grew up in the Soviet Union, so don't be ridiculous saying stuff like this.
