    Hmm how long until Hollywood sees this and demands the same of anyone discussing engaging in online piracy?

    Also an interesting thought. What if this isn’t actually meant to get all drug producers or users talking online but the companies? This could be meant to be used as a threat and a sledgehammer against the tech companies. Basically they pass this, let them rack up not reporting anything for months, years, then come and hit them with a lawsuit demanding internal moderation logs and data and threaten to rake them over the coals for thousands of built up violations BUT then they offer to instead drop all that in exchange for them changing their moderation policies in a certain political way to suit the administration and some token reforms to address the law which won’t be scrutinized further if they comply with the political censorship wants.
