I would support this notion. Utility and media companies have been doing everything they can to exploit the lack of law around the internet, and in the USA hiding behind USA law that absolves them while at the same time USA government bodies do nothing in the name of the 1st Amendment and it being entirely too difficult for the government to enforce the law, so such a reading of the law would also permit class action lawsuits against Google and Facebook Meta and Twitter for advertisements and scams on their platforms.
It'd need only succeed once and you'd see a shift to tighter controls to keep very expensive legal bills away.
