I spoke with Senate Judiciary committee staff on Friday and they said  
they weren't trying to mirror the Data Protection Directive, so I'm  
not sure this question is relevant.

But if a future hypothetical bill were to mirror the Directive, we  
can look at the research of Jacob Palme, a professor of computer  
science at Stockholm University (http://www.dsv.su.se/jpalme/). Jacob  
has documented some of it has been used (abused) against churchgoer  
websites, dog owner websites, search engines, anti-bank activists,  
and animal rights activists:
