I agree, that the results are not as bad as stated in the article. But it is still way less, than initially drafted. And it would not have come to this, if the affected companies didn't heavily lobbied to water it down.[1]

True and it's very important to have that discussion.

However, whenever a law gets passed at least one side is less than enthusiastic and, at least for me, it's helpful to get a first impression from a (more) neutral source which didn't take part in the drafting process.

After that I take a look at what the involved parties are saying about the new legislation and how it came to be.

Yes, but: industry avoided worse. This is a pro-consumer bill in its entirety. The headline here just feeds into mindless cynicism.
