Of course not, it’s clearly Meta’s fault that Meta is obeying that law. Why would the negative consequences of that law be the fault of the people who passed the law in the first place?

I’m certainly not happy about all these wildfires, but I do have to admit to a certain amount of schadenfreude aimed at the government over how they so quickly illustrated just how dumb this law is.
