This appears to be the bill: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24397944-defiance-act

For reference, this is the section getting altered: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/6851

This looks to be an absolute shitshow. I fear it'll be made even worse before it passes. Maybe they'll curtail the abuse potential. Then again, maybe not. It may be seen as hurting the right people.
