The problem with claiming the law mandates a ‘kill switch’ is that most people on reading that claim will assume it means a remote kill switch. The law does not mandate - or even contemplate - a remote kill switch. So saying this is a ‘kill switch’ law is misleading. If you want to call it something snappy, a less emotive word like ‘lockout’ might be appropriate.
People choosing to call this a kill switch are making an emotive, inaccurate word choice to advance an agenda. That is precisely the kind of behavior fact checking is intended to correct.
