I read some of it and it sounds like the legislatures are in the pockets of the tech lobbies. The said they still have questions about it but asked relatively few to the people that were testifying in front of them.

"I still have questions." That's textbook something they say when they think "no way I'm voting for this" but want to sound like they're actually mulling it over and sound sympathetic or pensive. Vote them out of office and shine a light on which tech lobbyists they talk with.

Also we spend a lot of time complaining about politicians, but relatively less time discussing the real problem, lobbyists. Freshmen legislators come in with the promise to change the system, then a lobbyist throws a wad of cash in their face and suddenly the problem they were trying to fight ain't really that bad anymore.

I think the solution will one day having robots with no souls, just hard and cold numbers to make gov't decisions.
