benefits

This doesn’t capture the author’s view of the measure as extreme.

decidedly

This doesn’t capture the author’s view of the measure as extreme.

unpopular

Although the author does believe that the measure would be unpopular, this word doesn’t demonstrate the author’s attitude. “Unpopular” is a comment about the general level of support for something. But its usage doesn’t capture the way an individual person feels about the thing. It wouldn’t make sense to say, “The author thinks the measure is unpopular” as a way to describe the author’s own personal opinion. That statement would mean only that the author thinks that other people are not in favor of the measure.

14%

draconian

This word is evidence that the author thinks the measure is extremely harsh. It shows the author’s attitude toward the measure.

84%

risks

This doesn’t capture the author’s view of the measure as extreme. Although the author notes that citizens would probably feel that the benefits of using the Internet outweigh the risks, “risks” refers to the risk to Internet users. It doesn’t refer to the risks of a measure banning the Internet.
