It's not nationally illegal, and yes I would I agree that this seems in clear violation of freedom of speech.
There have been some similar laws passed at the state level like this one in Texas https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/anti-israel-policies-are-ant... that have somehow held up in the courts

As someone who lives in Brooklyn and moved into a place where I was responsible for trash a couple weeks ago, it took ~1 week for someone to swipe my rolling trash bin, graffiti it, burn a couple holes and leave it a few blocks away. No idea why, but it definitely made putting bags on the street more appealing

It's fairly hard to uniquely fingerprint iOS devices, there aren't that many configuration options, most people use the stock browser etc.
Actually I suppose this may have changed since the introduction of safari extensions on ios? I haven't looked into this since that released
