But, surely, we ARE talking about personal accusations? Assuming the person she named exists, she falsely accused them of being the suspect in a multiple murder case,
What they are legislating is unless what you say is 100% accurate beyond doubt, then someone or authority can drag you in front of a court.
Who can say with 100% certainty what the truth is
The example is the labour councillor, who said cut their throats.
Very stupid indeed, but does it need a charge/conviction of 'encouraging murder'.
Whose murder of the future will help be attached to?
It's a massive hammer to crack the nut of online debate/argument. It will be the process of being dragged to court that is the punishment
I know a couple who were dragged to court over a civil matter, it literally destroyed them not financially but emotionally.
What happens over the next couple of years might be so surreal, we will be gob smacked
