This is despicable and to be expected from politicians who are scared of criticism, but all it will require to mitigate it a massive upsurge in the use of Tor and other anonymising technologies by citizens.

Let the website deal with them via warnings/banning rather than the state reprimanding them.

Both members are proposing them as private members bills. Both private members bills will go nowhere. Calm down.

Can't go writing anything that comes into your head about people.
Criticism about a political figure or somebody in the public eye is a completely different matter and not what's intended by the proposed bill as I understand it.

What is also worrying is that under these proposed laws non US based twitters users have to obey them.

So telling teenage kids to go kill themselves and driving them to suicide will now become illegal? Sign me up.

Also, nice clickbait on your blog
