> WEI can potentially be used to impose restrictions on unlawful activities on the internet, such as downloading YouTube videos and other content, ad blocking, web scraping, etc.
Note that every single one of those activities is legal.
It's legal to scrape websites. It's legal to download Youtube videos (copyright violation is the crime, not downloading videos, and there are plenty of videos on Youtube that can be legally downloaded). It is legal to block ads.
This article isn't bad, but it really shouldn't be playing into these tropes. That sentence caught me off-guard because it's just straight up wrong, and wrong in a harmful way that suggests that there aren't court ruling showing that these activities are legal, and that people should be somehow ashamed for doing them or that they're doing something transgressive when they scrape a website.
