Technology should be made to be resilient to bad laws. The Internet should protect us from government overreach, not magnify the effect of it.

What technology should do seems to be open to interpretation - it's not surprising those in power have a different interpretation than those who are not.

Sure. That was envisioned as a problem too back when the Internet was created (or maybe I'm just giving too much credit after the fact), so they structured the technology in such a way as to circumvent the problem.
