So people will not be able to give their honest opinion on many things. Something you think everyone should be entitled too.

Nothing will change for the vast majority of people who use the internet appropriately and responsibly. They will still be able to express their views in a respectful and considered manner.
Those who like to use the Internet to try and make life uncomfortable for, say, minority groups with the use of inappropriate and offensive language/attitudes, groom children for sexual gratification, scam people out of their hard earned savings etc are the only ones who will be affected.
Last Saturday on Talk TV, someone actually complained that this legislation would mean that people "would have to think about it before they said something"!!!
For the record, i've never seen any of your posts that would breach the new law.
