as if this congress could pass anything right now.
I'm trying to think of the last time they passed a law that actually helps people. I'm coming up with the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 lol.
Does me tapping my order into a self-service kiosk at a restaurant count as "using" the operating system that it is running on?
Like, I feel like this is going to be really difficult to enforce, and big business might actually push back against it if they think it will hurt their bottom line, but my god can we stop with this nanny state internet surveillance bullshit already? The government is too stupid to actually protect anyone with this dumb law because there will always be loopholes and workarounds.

Consider also writing to congress in addition to calling.
