This will rapidly degenerate to "providing the capability to coordinate and control will be criminalized". Which basically means every means of net-based communication will become a potential minefield.<p>If I had to wager, an onerous law will be passed but simply unenforced in most cases, but kept on the books in order to be utilized as a "boutique" charge to allow prosecutors more leverage to try to cop a plea bargain Or compliance on a case by case basis. Much like possession of a firearm is used to amplify a crime even if the crime was committed without actively using or brandishing the firearm.<p>The rationale will be to prevent riots or inflammatory material from being able to propagate through communication channels; but even if the measure is successful, it just means that people really interested in causing mayhem will simply have the operational calculus shift toward "don't let them take me alive", which will yield a counterproductive result in terms of decreasing the appeal/frequency of violent extremist behavior. In fact, it'll make radicalizing even easier, as there will be even less chance for rational rebuttal, one, and two, it is far easier to look at a government clamping down on your ability to talk to other people and arrive at the conclusion that maybe they aren't the good guys.<p>Examples to support the measure will likely be the built In nature of delays in broadcasting allowing for the dumping of objectionable content in the radio and TV spheres.<p>Calling it now.
