The same situation absolutely can and does end up with two different outcomes with two different judges. You don't know what you are talking about.

You're not even keeping your use of the word "consistent" consistent You're talking about application of the same law being consistent over time, not laws themselves all being "consistent" with some overarching principle you think they logically imply

You're saying I can't ban propagation of one specific kind of "private information" without banning *all* sharing of *all* information that *someone* could define as "private" That's fucking stupid I absolutely can -- that's the whole point of making laws
