Actually, it's probably more accurate to say the government stays in power because business controls government (more than We The People do), not the other way 'round. Businesses want government to secure the web in order to protect their business interests, protect them from hacking and keep the tubes open.
These child porn laws are as vague as they are due to businesses not wanting to be encumbered in their business transactions by this issue... not to mention its drafters probably having no real clue how the whole tubes thing works.
