✕ Vague Attribution [6/10]: ¶9 · The term 'some tech companies and civil society groups' is vague and fails to name specific opponents or their arguments, weakening accountability.

"But all of these countries have also faced opposition from some tech companies and civil society groups"

✕ Vague Attribution [7/10]: ¶10 · The attribution 'Officials in the United States' is generic and anonymous, offering no specificity about which officials or agencies hold this view.
