Facebook deleted a real, honest antifascist event after finding out that Russian state agents were promoting it.

Russian state agents promote Nazi events and anti-Nazi events because they want to promote conflict in the US.

France has made it a crime to "sexually harass" people on the street.

The most important question about such a law is where it will draw the line. Severe cases raise no moral issue — by all means, prohibit them. Violence and threats, including following someone persistently, ought to be punished.

It is when we look at cases that are less and less severe that a moral issue arises. Where does prohibition of speechcrime become repression? Where will the line be drawn?

We cannot have confidence in France to respect freedom of speech. European countries standardly infringe freedom of speech by prohibiting insults. In France, merely insulting an official is a crime, and people are really prosecuted for it. To an American, this is almost incredible.

Therefore, the most crucial point in drafting such laws is to specify clearly where the line is drawn.

Unfortunately, the article gives no concrete information about where the line is drawn. To the extent that it cites acts whose severity we can gauge, they rather severe. We get no information about how mild an act is now a crime. Is it a crime to say, "You are beautiful"? Is it a crime to say, "Please have coffee with me"?
