Ok, maybe there are parts that are an overreach. Does that mean the whole thing is a bad idea?

Is this a general principle, or specific just to making it harder for people to find videos depicting how to make deadly weapons?

Both. I think it's deplorable to censor something without understanding it; I also think it's deplorable to plot to disable the free exercise of peoples' right to self defense. Furthermore, in direct response to the earlier question, I think the fact that an overreaching and vague policy can be pushed out is indicative of a bigger problem in their policy-making procedure.
