> criminal law includes the idea of intent

Yes, but intent alone isn't sufficient. We need a precise, side-effect light definition of the kinds of activities we want to ban and by whom. To date, I haven't seen that.

Passing a law which bans "surveillance-based advertising" with little more specificity is a recipe for disaster.
