I hate to break it to you, but teenagers have been circumnavigating around any law the government throws at them since the beginning of time.

This law is particularly ridiculous and poorly thought out. It is easily bypassed and only has potential downsides. It is ripe for abuse and it's insane anyone supports this level of privacy intrusion.
