You don't know that yet. There is not a great track record anywhere for implementing radical reform without significant unintended consequences.

It's totally reasonable to be cautiously optimistic, but when people are only barely not frothing around the mouth at the prospect of landing a punch on Goliath, I'd err on the side of caution, at least until we see how the chips fell.

I'm with this sentiment too. I think there are plenty of laws with good intentions and unforeseen side effects which range from harmful to annoying and inconsequential (Prop 65 warnings, EU cookie law, south korea Internet Explorer mandate). They all seemed good at the time I'm sure.

Then the problem with technology laws is we have to live with them far beyond their usefulness since the tech evolves so quickly.
