No, the definition of 'stealth bot' is a disaster. The proposed text criminalizes altering your user-agent string. It arguably criminalizes all existing user-agent strings, since their whole purpose is to lie about which browser you are.
Taking the first thing I could find, geekflare.com informs me that the current user-agent string for Google Chrome running on Windows 11 is
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/155.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
What's doing the work in the proposed text is the prohibition on using software "in a manner that is reasonably likely to damage, impair, or burden the technical or commercial operation of" a service.
> Someone who is using a residential proxy network, headless browsing, and/or TLS fingerprint manipulation to evade rate limits and other controls to issue large volumes of automated requests under a deceptive UserAgent string isn't difficult to describe and differentiate versus a normal user using a UA.
Note that someone who's scripting a headless browser doesn't need to use a deceptive user-agent string. They can use the user-agent string for their browser, which isn't deceptive except to the degree that all user-agent strings are 90+% lies.
