> How laws are read can change.

They are more likely to ignore the law than to change the fundamental principles of how the words are read. It's easier. See the US.

Worrying about this sort of lawless action when writing laws is pointless because no matter how well laws are written they don't stop someone from simply ignoring them.

> Good. This is the way it should be.

I have no interest in rolling over and handing the keys to our communications infrasturcture to foreign powers because the government was not fast enough to realize they needed to ban a company, or because foreign politics shifted and what was a safe enough bet not longer is.

It's not a matter of guilt or innocence. It's not a matter of punishment. It's a matter of maintaining our independence.
