Because the majority of legislatures think Chrome is the Internet
I've met plenty of people who can't differentiate between facebook and the internet, or the term "wifi" and the internet - literally calling ethernet a "wifi cable".
The people in charge barely understand enough to put on their own pants sometimes, yet they're pushing legislation like they're fully informed, and most don't even read the brief about a new law before voting on it; literally voting along party lines because that's what's expected of them. They're mostly braindead as-is; and you expect them to differentiate between the internet, a website, and a browser?
They should, but I really don't expect that much from anyone who is elected.
Don't forget that one dude who said 72 hours wasn't enough time to read a 99 page bill
Hilarious.
