Not convinced that this is the right way to go, it seems a bit like imposing your laws in other countries - something that's never sat right with me.

Noli nothis permittere te terere.
Although I agree with the legislation it does seem a bit American Crusade! Saving the world and getting the girl!
Perhaps the legislation should stop American companies handing over information to authoritarian regimes, I remember a case a while back where Google handed information over to Chinese authorities about political activists.
