And the obvious underlying reason for these measures: corporations and governments will be able to identify those who "defame" them.

- mc32 14y agoI'm not sure that's the underlying reason --but certainly I can see corporations abusing this new law, ust as I imagine individuals abusing it. I think gov't would be less likely to abuse this as that would tread on censorship. The biggest problem, if this survives as law, is that it likely will lead to petty complaints -and by way of interference, to a possible chill in online discussions. I think that'd be a net loss. I can sympathise with people who become targets of internet bullies but I don't see how this is an appropriate response to that problem.
