Really is an amazing joke. This is a congress bill by a Republican actually but can someone actually explain to why this bill is so bad? It just seems like FARA like in the US.

Ever since, the law just got updated in third reading, including individuals that would be forced to answer questionnaire's of the govt., allowing them to ask a "foreign agent" about their sex life - totally no potential subject to more repression, as the govt. is flirting to impose an anti LGBT law.
The Justice Dept. would also be allowed to access all data of every NGO labeled as "foreign agent", including personal data.
Definitely something an increasingly authoritarian govt. can be trusted with.
