...a tit-for-tat policy last in the face of teachers...
That would require a new law to be enacted, ideally at the federal level. Good luck engaging Manchin, Sinema, and of course McDonnell [Mr.Turtleneck Sweater 1938]... all derelict and dross, shameless.
The terms “democracy” and “oligarchy” aren’t mutually exclusive, you know.
Sure, of course. Logic abides.
But I maintain the USA is not currently existing under a functioning democracy in any sense of the word.
My link to the BBC series was to highlight just how far corporations in the USA [and globally] had invested themselves into perverting the data and corresponding messaging concerning climate change. Seemed relevant to the OP posting about corporate capture concerning tech we as consumers had purchased.
This is not to say that people should let kids roam the internet willy nilly 100%; that's the parents job, not the government.
So, why the hell is Senator Maria Cantwell moving this bill forward? Bloody good question; she is/was pro-choice, is/was pro $15/h minimum wage, her other policies seems a bit centrist and wishy-washy.
Difficult to see how enforceable at the state level this might be if VPNs become more mainstream with the younger generation.
We still live in a democracy…for now.
If you're an American I'd question that. Seems more like an oligarchy to me, specifically a corporate captured one.

"...we all know that the capitalists are greedy and evil as fuck..."
"People are greedy, evil, and sick bastards"
"Human have always had some detestable desire to control other humans"
Sorry, but I have to challenge viewpoints so general and bleak and so wrong as these. I'm a person, a capitalist with social tendencies, and I resent your depicting me so. Humanity is so much better than you describe.
"And, just like that, any protections UK citizens might have gained from the 2000 version of RIPA were waved away in the interest of bulk collection convenience."
This statement brought a sad, ironic smile to my face. Let's not forget that RIPA itself is an incredibly invasive and intrusive law, and that the UK came a hair's breadth to having RIPA 2 foisted upon it...

Big government -v- small government AKA states rights

"Refusing to help the police should be illegal."
Emergencies notwithstanding, why on earth should I have to obey a policeman?
Re:
That was my thought, how on earth are they going to enforce this stupid law.
Re: If they did this in the UK
Alas, not so - not since the 1980's. Apparently the ink in newspapers isn't food grade and therefore not considered good eats...

But in this case, Hogan's problems are 100% on himself. As has been said elsewhere, if Gawker were making things up, they'd be liable.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
Re: Copyright is necessary
Ha ha! If copyright exists for the lifetime of the creator +70 years, who has to die for these works to become public domain?

Re: Not just least effective
That's my take as well. Putting the focus on the effect rather than the cause screams "bad and evasive management" to me.
Which is as you say, counterproductive.
and said that the use of encryption, among other things, was "circumstantial evidence of their agreement to participate in illegal activity.”
Beyond weak. It's also evidence of a thousand other things, none of which is illegal.
