Don’t care! The problem at hand is people trying to argue that laws should be written in ways that are entirely unenforceable or have enormous gaping loopholes that undermine their stated goals.
- ben_w 3y agoLots of laws look like that to me. I don't much like that laws seem so messy either, but that just doesn't seem like much of a reason to think it won't shake out like that. The law may well start on the basis of what people feel, and work outwards from there to things that might, or might not, be actually enforceable. And the headline summary of that law may or may not have much in common with the details, which is why e.g. the USA PATRIOT Act has that name.
- jncfhnb 3y agoEhh maybe. But this feels far more egregious to me than typical.
