They're criticizing the article for lack of detail. Considering the model legislation linked to in the article was published in 2020, I'm not sure I disagree with them. The article only mentions legislation being introduced and discussed in one state, last year, where it was not signed into law.

What are they doing next? Without information, how can we fight this effectively?

Why do these people choose convoy for their method of demonstration?

‘Well, I told you,’ — it was kind of charming. He said, ‘I told you, I told them to make you really bad sandwiches, but they can’t help themselves here. We have the best sandwiches.’

Charming?

Littlejohn leaked the information to two news outlets and deleted the documents from his IRS-assigned laptop before returning it and covered the rest of his digital tracks by deleting places where he initially stored the information.

I guess he didn't do a very good job of it.

They didn't try him, he ~~pled~~ pleaded(?) guilty.

In October, Charles Littlejohn, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns.

I see your point.

I think I would still like it. I don't have a problem with it not being implemented because other people wouldn't like it.

If you know who is being toxic, you can block them.

Another interesting concept that came from the discussion over that was “constructive downvote” - requirement of commenting why one downvotes a post.

I think I like that idea.

FTA:

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has abolished any requirement for applicants to use this ancient clicking and buzzing magnetic media when filing official documents. Until last week there were about 1,900 official governmental application procedures that stipulated businesses must submit floppies or CD-ROMs (specifically) containing supplementary data.
