Legislators have no idea how technical stuff works. Imagine imposing this requirement on a Raspberry Pi, which has no document scanner or webcam to scan your Government Approved ID or Unique Human Face. Either the device has to be mandated to include a camera or some other similar bullshit, or it doesn’t have a way to scan your face or ID. So it would be noncompliant by default, but if you could mandate a camera is included, then you’d have to mandate that it requires the scan and gatekeeps the operation of the device without it, and so on… just a bunch of ridiculous bullshit.

So all this is supposed to be part of what lobbies do - provide subject matter input, recommendations, and direction to lawmakers, so that said lawmakers can make better laws. This protects the lobbies’ interests because they aren’t forced to do unreasonable shit just to comply with nonsense laws.

BUT Citizens United happened, and now lobbies are for funneling money to politicians so that they will produce laws that benefit you, as a company/org, and not the general interest.
