It's not, or, at least it's being able say what you what you want but understand there are consequences You can't just go online and abuse folk and expect to get away with it in the same way you couldn't stand in the street and expect to get away with it No problem with the bill in theory, will be in interesting to see how it's applied

For example, if someone wants to call someone else a sex offender / rapist / animal shagger / fistmaster 3000 lover, then be prepared that it could have legal consequences if it’s not true. Generally civil (slander and libel) but it could also be criminal in nature depending on what you say. You can’t just say “yeah, but free speech means I can say what I like”.

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 creates a new crime of "stirring up hatred" relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex. If everyone contributing to any social media platform was required to declare their true identity, would things improve? Against. Softcocks upset by name calling. Wouldn't have lasted five minutes in Castle Hill Primary playground. There's an old adage - "Hard times produce hard men, good times produce soft ones". Never has this been more evident. A shame any future wars will probably be fought on computer monitors. Proper wars remind people of what is truly important. How long before the Police force is overwhelmed by complaints; many purely vexatious or spurious. The stupid, stupid cunts.

The stupid, stupid cunts. to be fair, a lot of Police are already struggling due to the massive amounts of red tape, new laws and the fact that the media are waiting to rip them apart at any given opportunity. They're not all bad the but media is portraying it that way atm.

But you’re right, it has been done before, mostly as a joke. I didn’t change his words. I deleted words before and after a sentence. Just as he deleted words after the first paragraph of mine. Normally to highlight a part of a post, I would put it in bold.
