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.
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.

Legislating specific behaviors, on the other hand, does seem to work. Things like common carrier work very well because they are unambiguous. Courts don't have trouble with things like "never inspect packets" or things like that.

Here we reach common ground, mostly. Behaviors like "deleting personal data" can be demanded. But "never inspect packets" becomes a problem with we move to IPv18 and packets are now "glomules" and we have to fight over whether or not the law covers glomules.
