>>The new legislation will introduce a complaints mechanism, so that if somebody thinks they are being defamed, bullied or attacked on social media, they will be able to require the platform to take the material down.
If one merely "thinks" they are being bullied or attacked, the law will require the platform to erase that material. Obviously this is completely subjective nonsense.
