Hopefully there will be lots more requests to include more and more provisions until it gets so unwieldy and complicated that the government puts a match to it to add to the bonfire of EU Regulations.

The proposed legislation is burdensome, will do little to address the perceived problem and is unworkable, while at the same time putting unnecessary burdens on websites. It needs to be trashed and the sooner the better.
