So now bureaucrats can pass out political favors through selective enforcement.

Vague laws are clearly and obviously tyranny because then you are subject to laws that nobody can clearly define and the only remaining question is if you are on the right parties good side and the usual way of remaining so is political favors.

But you do: you have to worry about filtering content. And you can never know whether you've made enough effort.
You have to have a process, and devote human time to it, and (as I understand it) do so proactively rather than just responding to takedown requests.
It's intentionally vague, because these laws only ever come into play if someone really messes up or is intentionally being deceptive..
If you set an exact limit or try and set exact definitions, people try and use them to create loopholes.. which I personally find to be a very American thing to do.
If you're actively making an effort trying to filter content, you have nothing to worry about. If it can be shown that you're intentionally trying to game the system, you can land in trouble.
It's pretty simple, really.
