Earnestly referring to giant swaths of heterogeneous infrastructure as "the algorithm" is one good way to know you probably aren't the best person to suggest revisions to technology laws.
No, the point is that tech policy law has to be informed by what the technology actually is. If you change the requirements without understanding how it works, you can create even worse outcomes than what you started with.

I don't think I agree. Tying legislation to actual technology, as opposed to the underlying concepts or experience of technology, leads to very specific legislation about specific technology, which will be immediately outmoded, and thus inapplicable, while the problem lives on.

Legislating outcomes doesn't really work. At least, I can't think of a time when it has worked. What it mostly will do is kick the can to the court system, which will then be very unpredictable because they are being asked to do what was supposed to be the legislature's job.
