A controversial UK law that has not had safeguards loosened, but instead has had them strengthened in response to the evidence, seems a perfectly reasonable comparison to me. Far more reasonable than mistakes made in other countries which you would hope we would learn from rather than emulate.
It's all academic anyway. A few groups, some with long and not especially distinguished histories of wanting to control how the rest of the country lives, told the MPs to jump and they responded asking how high.
