Typical government. Scream terrorists and paedophiles and try and erode people's freedom even more because no one can disagree /s
I suppose it's not that you can't disagree it's just that apathy means many won't and walk heard first into a Soviet/east german stasi society. This is even the stuff of fiction we have recent history to look upon. But it's all for the greater good, right? Born of compassion and a desire to protect surely?
Though as a company, for this law, I would be sure to take the possibility for bad press and loss of customers into the billing calculations. And those are huge.
It could be apathy, or it could be that they genuinely believe the government is doing the right thing. Don't discount the latter because the former is easier for your worldview
