Would something like this not necessarily have to be a judgement call by someone and subjective by its very nature. Kind of like libel or defamation of character.
No I mean the lads here who are pro it and anti it. But obviously would be good to hear examples used in the wider debate around it too

I think it’s more about the type of opinion you have on each of the headings in the bill.

For example like how Trump usually just brazenly undermines most of his opposition.
Capable of saying anything with no repercussions

Does that 1989 act not cover that already?
You haven’t seen Helen McEntee’s defense of this speech then I guess?
Bags will be checked, posters taken etc. It’s bonkers. If you go against govt, then it’s hate speech.
Do you not comprehend that what’s in vogue at the time will be taken as mantra by politicians who don’t really give a fuck about the likes of Roscrea etc and if you don’t agree it’s hate speech, ergo, people won’t protest and question.
It did, now it also covers stuff about that condones genocide
