The biggest defense FWZ has, LS, is that you have to specifically state that you are not ‘easily offended’, and then you have to actually go through a (relatively speaking) very long process before you can even post in the forums.

You don’t just stumble into FWZ, and get involved in the forum community.

bumuming that the American judicial system isn’t absolutely very special.

Which it is.

Even if this law specifically excludes certain activities, or specifies extremely particular actions that constitute what it is making illegal, it WILL be used to wrongfully prosecute people who have done something that someone else gets mildly annoyed over.

Not that in general it will matter. Individual trolls will get away just fine, because it’s honestly impossible and a waste of money to track them all down. It’s organizations and particular websites that are going to be hit, because they’re large and visible, and thus much easier targets. Even if that’s NOT what the law is for, that’s what idiots are going to use it for.
