> Joseph Cox from Vice has been paid to be critical of the act

Astroturfing isn’t the right term. Group think seems more appropriate. Cox is writing what will get clicks. (Note that zero lawyers are quoted.) This happens on both sides in any political debate, and of course vested interests, including foreign interests, will throw gasoline on the process. (The EFF and ACLU’s have more merit.)



Do you mean group think or polarisation of the debate?
