Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

Good. Every time they bs without evidence, it: Destroys the credibility of legitimate claims & can cause serious reputation and mental harm to the accused. Should be criminal

They're not "BSing;" they're "defaming" and "inciting violence against."

Ayup. I've seen and heard tons of people speak favourably in supporting the death penalty and castration and rape of child sex abusers. So to like someone to a child abuser when so many of the general population believe in heavy violence against them is absolutely putting people at risk.

Look at paedophile hunters who hound and harass people on the basis of little to no evidence and look at the damage they've done to people's lives. Morons won't think about whether a gay person is actually grooming a child, they'll act like a bull with a red flag in front of them.

That's part of the point, yup.
