Looks like the UK is well on it's way to creating a "opinion police." One of the reasons free speech is important is because it lets the hate come out in the open where it can be seen and addressed.
Institutionalizing any kind of censorship will push the less mainstream viewpoints underground! Not good!
So if you say something which meets and conforms with public opinion of 2017 but in 2022 is no longer in fashion then what happens to you when everything you say is stored forever to be reviewed by an ever changing community defined standard?
Am I the only person who can see a serious problem with that? We literally do not know what we are saying or what is the right or wrong thing to say for all time.

So if you say your opinion and your opinion is subjectively determined to be abusive then you take that punishment?
Social media is like a spy agency's wet dream come true. All information is stored and searchable.
