The fact that you call this an overreach belies your party affiliation, and the ulterior motivation behind how your comment is worded. It doesn't matter
which party is acting against our interests, we have to fight it. The DMCA was introduced by a Republican, but the president at the time who signed it into law was a Democrat and it's terrible. A younger, less coordinated tech community fought it by lost. SOPA was introduced by a Republican but had numerous sponsors were Democrats. It would have been terrible but it didn't pass (thankfully).
We haven't been sold 1984, we've elevated the tribalism of American football to American politics. If you are a Republican, then President Trump can do no wrong, and if you're a Democrat neither could President Obama.
The tech that the tech community is responsible for operating doesn't have a party allegiance, but it is run by people that, yes, support the Democrats and their position that orphan-blood-as-youth-serum isn't proven by science and should continue to be illegal, but if the Republicans adopted tech friendly policies over corporate interests then they'd find more support from people in tech sector.
