[35] It's Easter Sunday, everybody's dressed up, last than you'd expect.

[40] The law creates new criminal offenses for the use of threatening or abusive behavior intended to, quote, stir up hatred based on prejudice toward certain characteristics.
[41] Those characteristics can include the hot button topic of gender.
[42] Conservatives in Scotland call the legislation a major infringement on the rights of citizens to speak freely.
[43] Meanwhile, supporters of the law say it's aimed at providing, quote, greater protection for victims and communities.
[44] Less your behaviour is threatening or abusive and intends to start a patriot, then you have nothing to worry about in terms of the new offences being created.
[45] This law is a disaster in the making.
[46] It criminalises free speech.
[47] It risks a fundamental right.
[48] It's overreached by the S &P into people's homes.
[49] It could result in the public being criminalised for no good reason.
[50] So Wilhelmsi Yusuf finally accept that he has created another bad SMP, law that will quickly descend into chaos.
[51] The law warns against sharing any offensive rhetoric on social media, which could be your own opinion or someone else's, written forms of expression are also punishable if the message is deemed offensive.
