"However, Stanton noted the government's indication that the laws won't be used against specific vendors."
I the laws aren't used against specific vendors then against whom are they to be used. AFAICS "against specific vendors" makes no sense at all so let's delete it.
"the government's indication that the laws won't be used"
So why have laws that won't be used? Because "we" (i.e. the govt.) can?
