Why don't you read the whole article lol. Those fines are not for individual users, while the three days to 5 years is.

I did skim that article tbh cause I'm at work, but let's look at the bill itself.

>(c) Criminal Penalties.—

>(1) IN GENERAL.—A person who willfully commits, willfully attempts to commit, or willfully conspires to commit, or aids or abets in the commission of an unlawful act described in subsection (a) shall, upon conviction, be fined not more than $1,000,000, or if a natural person, may be imprisoned for not more than 20 years, or both.

That sure sounds like it isn't for individual users. Sounds like the wording is broad enough to allow for them to use it against anyone.

And yea, btw, politicians lie all the time. Just because he said it, doesn't mean it's true.
