最高一百万美元罚款和二十年监禁

孟词宗

这个提案给了商业部长巨大的权力扩张。最有意思的是这条：

(b) CIVIL PENALTIES.—The Secretary may impose
12 the following civil penalties on a person for each violation
13 by that person of this Act or any regulation, order, direc-
14 tion, mitigation measure, prohibition, or other authoriza-
15 tion issued under this Act:
16(1) A fine of not more than $250,000 or an
17amount that is twice the value of the transaction
18that is the basis of the violation with respect to
19which the penalty is imposed, whichever is greater.
20(2) Revocation of any mitigation measure or
21authorization issued under this Act to the person.
22(c) CRIMINAL PENALTIES.—
23(1) IN GENERAL.—A person who willfully com-
24mits, willfully attempts to commit, or willfully con-
25spires to commit, or aids or abets in the commissionLEW23098 YD2
S.L.C.
43
1of an unlawful act described in subsection (a) shall,
2upon conviction, be fined not more than $1,000,000,
3or if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not
4more than 20 years, or both.

也就是说只要商业部长认定有罪就可以实行处罚。商业部集公检法于一身了。

我说明一下，这个法案是个糟糕的方案，不想为它辩护。但同时我碰到这种耸人听闻的解读，总是不免怀疑的。 ...

问题是这个提案并没有区分个人和公司。相反，公司犯罪只罚款100万，个人则不但罚款100万还同时要坐牢20年。

网上的简述，基本正确。这个法案里连游戏都照顾了。所以中国游戏也算是颠覆工具了。

至于 VPN，属于Network的一种，当然在这个提案的范围内。

那么怎么执行呢？我看美国得向中国取经，建一个对内的 Great Firewall 。
