This very sentiment highlights the problem. If you aren't a master of crybullying and couching your own hate speech in impenetrable rhetoric, you're subject to criminal penalties.
Israel is attacking civilians but calling that out as genocide is antisemitic in their eyes. Yet visibly supporting their Palestinian victims is itself "advocating genocide." They've flipped the script, and this bill codifies suppression of dissent. All of these ism and phobia terms are so fucking vague it's embarrassing.
And yet for a bill about stopping bullying and hate speech, there are provisions like:
> For greater certainty and for the purposes of the definition content that foments hatred, content does not express detestation or vilification solely because it expresses disdain or dislike or it discredits, humiliates, hurts or offends.
So what the fuck is the point? This is all meaningless. It's going to be hilarious to see enforced.
