To be honest this doesn't involve any "culture war" dumbassery so unless Fox starts spewing about how the bill is woke and will turn your kids gay I don't think anyone outside of the usual suspects would vote against it.
Then again the GOP will make the most innocuous thing into a political shitshow, so who knows.
Unironically right to be forgotten stuff is a major benefit to a person who's gone through social transition because it does things like let them get rid of their dead name on the internet.
They write their own useful, not-crappy bills and then vote against them all the time.
They don't need any culture war talking points, they just want everything broken and everyone miserable.
