Never thought of that particular issue, and I grant that I basically haven’t thought at all about how this proposal could be abused by people trying to stymie any system they don’t like.
Yeah in retrospect using the GDPR in the TL;DR blurb was a pretty bad unforced error. I was more using it as evidence that such proposals can be passed. However, I think I didn’t really justify why regulation is needed beyond “governments might want to do it, and consumers might want it”, which you correctly point out is insufficient given the amount of regulatory cost these kinds of things inevitably bring.
Need to figure out if this half baked idea merits more time in the oven...
