So do you think the bill is worthless because there are legal workarounds and therefore we should give up trying to regulate online marketplaces? Or are you suggesting that the bill doesn't go far enough and that your suggestions should also be illegal?

He's addressing the first one, but I could read your comments as either way in which case there's two different discussions going on.

There is nothing the bill is going that lets the customer know who they are buying from. If I want to hide my identity, I can obscure using legal means.

This is just as useless as the GDPR that just added cookie pop ups across the web.
