I'd like to believe that it can help stop bad internet bills. Or at the very least make them unenforceable.

Or at the very least make them unenforceable.

It certainly would make it a bit more impractical to enforce some of these silly laws. The new tooling provides a buffer and a way to route around some of that silliness.

You could perhaps argue that without the threat of these kinds of bills becoming reality, the impetus to develop this tooling in the first place may not have been enough to get it where it is today.
