What exactly is your point?

That because it would be difficult to get right, we shouldn't try?

Isn't that true for most things worth doing?

I just think giving the government a legal way to close down corporations and seize their assets doesn’t set a good precedent and could do more harm than good.

In contrast, I think having fines that actually matter and laws more strict on what a site can do without permission from the user are easier to do and have overall less ways to be exploited.
