It’s also not clear how the law will be enforced or to what extent.

No shit. Isn't that the point? Use outrage to justify the growth of an impenetrable body of law addressing all social and economic behavior, then selectively enforce subjective interpretations to satisfy powerful groups and remain in power. So it goes for any population center whose rapid growth creates the illusion of independence.

Can we sell NYC to Canada yet? We'd make a bundle, they wouldn't even be mad, and I'd sleep a lot better with the border of a superpower between me and a stack of nine million people who think privacy is a sin.
