People involved in those things will not be targeted, unless the authorities already have another reason to want to target them. Absurdly broad laws, coupled with selective enforcement, allows the authorities to legally harass anyone that they please.
Whenever anyone complains about overly broad laws, selective enforcement allows apologists to claim that any objections to those laws are unfounded because in practice people are typically not abused by those laws. However the danger of the laws is not that they will be used to abuse everyone, but rather that they will be used to abuse a select few.
