This is absolutely the worst time for such a bill, so of course it has a better chance of succeeding than ever before.

There is never an appropriate time for a bill that limits, curbs, controls, restricts, or obstructs freedom of expression. Remember, if an action or expression does not infringe upon someone else’s rights, then any limitation on it - particularly by the state - is a grossly unethical violation of their natural human rights.
