The problem for tech companies is that the law builds in mechanisms to ensure that the protocols are sufficiently robust and actually enforced. The law would eventually require outside auditors to review the protocols, and from the start, it would protect whistleblowers within firms who come forward to show that protocols are not being followed. The law thus makes real what the companies say they are already doing.
