Making more people criminals. Ayn Rand wasn’t a pleasant person and her writing is worse than even mine, but she was entirely correct about this motivation.
Also getting leverage on services that should be checked against regulations. Doesn’t matter if they are going to host any porn. The check itself is pressure.
Getting funding.
Creating posts with small power, subordinate to posts with bigger power. It’s like bullshit jobs in an authoritarian country, people who are dependent on the regime for their wage and are not very qualified, except it’s higher rank.

Stuffing rules harmless taken alone into the law, as a preparation for another time.
