Re: Michigan First With A Law That Could Outlaw VPNs

The real problem with laws like these is they are overly broad. That leaves one more open to legal action.

Then one has to defend themselves, at some expense.

The goal should be to write laws which are effective in stopping most criminals while generating few false positives.

The broader the law, the more innocent people will end up defending themselves. Carried to the extreme, people simply quit doing anything that could be construed as "illegal" under the overly broad law.
