Having a specific list always misses something, and bad actors will find ways to abuse the gaps in that list.

Bad actors also abuse the rules when they’re too broad.

No they don’t. The argument is that good actors get overly punished for doing things that shouldn’t be illegal yet are. You’re not even being logically consistent.
