My comparison here is actually that I've never had it shut off. I'm not quite sure what the criteria are. I do have a friend who had it cut off after a few months of using it for all his data in the EU.

The bill is SB 5375 [1]; it's frustrating that the text of the article does not mention that. The relevant part appears to be narrowly written to cover only privileged communication with clergy. All other privileged communication is ex
