My point was that it sounds like a mechanism for squashing all dissenting debate. The very act of discussing a change to a law could be labeled “promoting” illegal activity, and all involved with running the forum where the discussion took place could be criminally charged. That sounds rather patently un-American to me. A dangerous precedent.

It’s dangerous but there have been other things similar to this done to attempt to police the internet. It is usually done under the guise of fighting sexual exploitation (e.g. human trafficking or child pornography) but in reality doesn’t combat that issue and only serves to threaten people that are not guilty of those crimes.
