I wonder if Mizonu has actually ever spoken to anyone in the tech field abou this. I haven't read the text of the bill itself, but judging from the article it sounds like a first draft of something a high school freshman would write on the bus 10 minutes before it was due.

I hope this gets more attention and doesn't slip under the radar. It's this type of thing that can be used to set precedence and allow other states to take the same measures.<p>One by one, state by state, the entire country will be sewed up unless we are vigilant.

I reckon that if such a ridiculous law were to come to pass, you could create a script that uses your browser to visit random sites and deep follow links found on those sites at constant pace all the time. This would generate so much noise in such a list that it would be prohibitively expensive to determine what sites you actually visited.<p>On top of generating noise to obfuscate signal, this approach generates reasonable doubt.<p>Needle meet haystack. Haystack meet needle.

Hopefully this is a plot to let civil liberties lawyers and other activists take tax-deductible trips to Hawaii this season (ostensibly to work against the bill, but, Hawaii in February).<p>(I already had a trip planned for Monday; I'll see about getting a meeting with some representatives while there...)

In the not so distant future, people will pick the state they choose to live in based on Internet freedom.
