This proposed law is discriminatory against autistic people (of which I am one) and, possibly, other people who, due to difficulty in reading a room or difficulty in self-censoring or difficulty in separating fact from imagination, might say or post offensive things without intending to cause hurt. (Or, maybe, without intending to hurt anyone who actually exists, as opposed to their imagined enemies.) I could also add that it's discriminatory against people who were raised in certain environments, but I've noticed that "They were raised that way" isn't seen as a valid defense, as it's apparently viewed as axiomatic that everyone has a chance to revise all of their implicit biases before posting to Twitter.
