This thread is about a different aspect of the bill which is about regulating and punishing non-harmful word based "offenses" by human persons.
It is trope in legislation that is good and required to try to sneak in sections that are damaging and not required so both have to be passed. That seems to be the case here. It is good for this to be highlighted to potentially improve the bill.
- pvg 3y agoIt's still the same story and the 'life in prison' stuff sounds a lot like the whale sushi thing. It's just how HN dupery works, most stories don't get (or need) a second front page run just because someone is covering them from a different angle or as minor details dribble out. Additionally, proposed legislation is largely HN-offtopic anyway until it becomes actual legislation.
