We had a recent example in Canada of how any attempt at restricting such a law would go.
- The government proposes a law to regulate content on the internet, ostensibly targeted at Netflix and similar services.
- Critics point out that the law would apply to small-time content creators too, and could destroy their ability to compete.
- The government pinky-swears that they would never apply the law to individuals.
- A member of the opposition proposes an amendment to explicitly exclude individuals from the law.
- The government rejects the proposal and passes the bill as originally drafted.
