> You need analogies for people who are less technically savvy, like most legislators. You don't need to have a PhD in computer science to understand what data is and what can be done by aggregating and reselling it. You just need some intelligence, curiosity and honest interest in the issue. If you pass laws on technology, maybe spend 30 hours and learn basic Python. When people are treated as not able to understand a complex argument, you'll get a population that can't even digest most basic arguments.
