Probably leaked on purpose to gauge the reaction to it before publishing it and then officially looking like idiots. I can't imagine what they were expecting. Is there a non-government agency, a private or public company that is supporting this kind of legislation?

<p><pre><code> I can say without exaggeration that this draft bill is the most ludicrous, dangerous, technically illiterate tech policy proposal of the 21st century so far. </code></pre> And that&#x27;s saying a lot.

Well, let&#x27;s be honest here... Did <i>anyone</i> expect <i>anything</i> different from these two?

When will they actually consult with various IT-literate parties before making decisions that affect the way IT-related professionals will have to operate?<p>I don&#x27;t think they are stupid enough to not have thought of that. So I wonder what motivates them to write that kind of bill.

Why do you Americans put up with these things? Is it not time for a new government?
