> I think the fact that Google came to an agreement shows that they don't have a fundamental issue with the law either (or they could've just withdrawn from our market, like Meta).

That's a strange thing to conclude.

If the grocery store wanted to charge me 10 cents per visit for the air I breathe, I would have fundamental issues with that, but I'd still probably pay. And I'm far more motivated by emotion than a publicly traded company.

> I agree strongly with the goals of the law

I like the goals too. But I think the method is terrible, and that matters.
