I subscribe to all the amendments, in particular to the one on privacy, except amendment No. 10. The reason is that it is vaguely drafted. For example, paragraph (b) states:
There is nothing to prevent people having umpteen sexual contacts or an orgy with five or six people. Perhaps that is a very modest orgy; let us say 25 people a-frolicking on the dining room floor. I do not approve of that.
For the purpose of this subsection, a person's right to privacy includes, but is not limited to, the person’s right to engage in sexual acts with other adults, as permitted by law, and to form and engage in intimate relationships with other adults, as permitted by law.”.
