If someone were to constantly threaten/insult you IRL everytime you walked past their house, the solution would be to have them dealt with rather than tell the recipient to wear ear plugs or take another route.
I think an awful lot of people will be upset if this legislation led to the closure of discussion groups altogether because everyone became scared of saying anything. The people behind the legislation may mean well, but the impact of this will be devastating.

I think the message may at last be getting through and I’m picking up hints that it may be ditched or completely reviewed by the new PM.
