I won't even get into obvious issues concerning civil liberties (and Thought Police, and other Orwellian tropes).

"Under the new laws, it will make it illegal to plan to commit 277 criminal actions, from arson to copyright infringement."

SILVER LINING: I haven't listened to Queensryche's glorious Operation Mind Crime in the last few years. Time to dig it out.
Nothing like retrograde laws and self-serving fear-mongerers to spark nostalgia.
The fight continues, comrades.
