Right-Wing Trolls Are Freaking Out After Learning They Can Get Sued for Calling People ‘Groomers’ on the Internet

New court decision reinforces that there is no public interest in speech that exposes vulnerable groups to hate

Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

      Try a larger metro area if you can afford to. The established LGBT communities could probably help you feel a bit more welcome.

        That’s the goal. I used to live in a metropolitan area but was priced out and moved more rurally but things now have gotten very very bad where I’m at. Saving some money and hoping I can sell the house before someone burns it down.

        I’m hoping I’m just being extreme at the last part 😭

          My heart goes out to you, dude. It sounds like a terrible situation.

          Hang in there. I’m rooting for you

          I’d say move to someplace like the Cowichan Valley on Vancovuer Island, but even rural property is expensive. Maybe Edmonton? Urban, fairly progressive, cold (and therefore less expensive), lots of work.

      And now precedent has been established for a lawsuit in this case, at least, despite it being an awful situation as a complete understatement
