Is there some generalized law (yet) about unintended consequences? For example:

Increase fuel economy -> Introduce fuel economy standards -> Economic cars practically phased out in favour of guzzling "trucks" that are exempt from fuel economy standards -> Worse fuel economy.

or

Protect the children -> Criminalize activites that might in any way cause an increase in risk to children -> Best to just keep them indoors playing with electronic gadgets -> Increased rates of obesity/depression etc -> Children worse off.

As the article itself says: Hold big tech accountable -> Introduce rules so hard to comply with that only big tech will be able to comply -> Big tech goes on, but indie tech forced offline.

Laws are meant to be dynamic. So you iterate on them as you get feedback from their implementation

The US Supreme Court disagrees. https://www.dentons.com/en/insights/articles/2024/july/3/-/m...

For the time being the US Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over the UK online safety act
