If nothing is done, it's our most vulnerable in society that will continue to suffer and even end up dead. This cannot be allowed to continue and it's good to see that internet sites are now to be made to behave responsibly or face the consequences of the law.
It's long overdue and the right of free speech must come secondary where it is in conflict with the rights of children, the elderly, the disabled etc to not be scammed, groomed, abused, upset etc by the minority of people who cannot behave responsibly on the internet.
The overwhelming number of people will not be affected by this initiative as it will be entirely irrelevant to them because they don't carry out the acts that's led to this becoming neccessary.
If you'd have seen some of the material that i've been shown that people with 'Protected characteristics' (and others) have been subject to, you'd understand.

Take a look at the photograph of this young lady:

Do you think that she was a "pathetic snowflake"? If so, perhaps you'd like to say this to her parents.
