But do you see how shifting from ‘just reading’ to ‘interpreting implementation consequences’ means that the tweet may be claiming an effective ban and not a ban by the letter of the law itself?
I understand what you’re saying, but that amount of charity is inappropriate. If the OP wanted to say “effective ban”, they would have done that, and then the tweet wouldn’t have misled people. And in other contexts I am almost positive that rationalists would be able to immediately register this kind of conflation as antisocial; for instance, people made similar claims that SB 1047 would “ban open source”, and several of the people mentioned above thought that was just as mendacious.
