12. that kind of overreach...

After re-reading that link, the proposed legislation sounds like a pr tactic or trial balloon rather than actual laws. You don’t craft something that egregiously invasive expecting every idea will just sail into the law books. Much of what is in that link is sensible and others are stunningly Orwellian. Throw thirty things at a wall and see what fourteen of ‘em stick, something like that? I’ve lived in China but not for over a decade. What’s happening there now is beyond frightening. But the power of the State and local authorities in that country is bound by no laws, no matter what they might have written down. Law there is completely arbitrary. So, while I understand you drawing a comparison between the two links you cited, it’s not entirely on the mark.
