It seems the gist of the law isn’t really ‘fake’ profiles but impersonating someone. Almost like online identity theft.

However, it would leave the door open for prosecutorial mischief, IMO - going after anonymous comments on MSM websites that a politician doesn't like, for example.

Too often, application of a law such as this one goes well beyond the original intent of who created it.
