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.

The problem I have is you must look for it. You did it with this forum asking to be treated as a special kind of person because of your illness/ disability. When things don't go your way you use it against others. It's like going on a site and saying please don't pick on me because I can't take it and I'll get offended. Well what do you think will happen? And when it does you seem to be in your element.
For the record, I'm disabled and I have suffer with mental health. Yet I'm no different to anyone else apart from you special kind of easily offended types that is.

Do you think that she was a "pathetic snowflake"? If so, perhaps you'd like to say this to her parents. |
You can't stop stupid nor can you stop social media. If you wrap people up in cotton wool too much then they've got no chance.
