Not that I’m necessarily disagreeing, but if there were no rights infringed prior to this, why is retroactive telecom immunity needed again?

...if there were no rights infringed prior to this, why is retroactive telecom immunity needed again?

Lets say I am the telecompany, and the local police office is the govmt.
The local police knocks on my door and tells me that there have been some robberies in the neighborhood and to look out for a red chevy. I see a red chevy the next day and, in the interest of my family's safety, I report that I just saw a red chevy to the police. The police then pull the chevy over but it is the wrong chevy and they go on about their business.

Am I responsible for the red chevy owner's inconvenience?
