    It’s not mutually exclusive. Laws are wielded as weapons all the time.

      When I learned to write headlines 30 years ago, the goal was to capture the gist of the article. We’d write something like…

      Proposd Take It Down Law Would Be Used as a Weapon

      I’m not sure it’s possible to train AI to write effectively headlines after 20 years of clickbaiting and controversy “journalism”.

      The article’s title isn’t a title, it’s hyperbole.

    It’s also not a law, it’s a bill. Kind of a big difference.
