Doesnt matter. Switch is only following the rules in the law.
I don't blame switch to follow foolish laws. But there are two interesting questions:
1) why should I use switch when they can't offer a reliable service because they has to apply the law?
2) who did acknowledge from switch, that this would be a good idea before it became a law?
In this form, it's a potential censorship infrastructure which can be used against anybody and can be used for pressure. It's very easy to create a case where any domain can be killed.
The intention of some people for a law doesn't matter, it matters what you can do with a law (but my point of view is that the intention is a censorship infrastructure as in many other countries today). The term post-democracy law fits very good for this law.
You can't protect yourself from applying it against you - that's a clear sign for a anti-democratic law.
