Do they define digital assets? Because my Google Doc is a digital asset. If I transfer it to a friend, is Google now a broker?

I would suspect that under the current proposed wording, yes. Facebook, Google, etc. all become brokers. This could be a means for the government to go after social platforms and get transparent vies on all the social media activities of U.S. citizens. It is scary.
