This doesn't seem to be matching what I'm reading concerning this bill.
From what I understand, this bill is adopting a standardized definition of antisemitism to be applied to actions that violate anti-discrimination laws. It doesn't involve the freedom of speech of ordinary citizens.
It's always been illegal to discriminate against someone because of their race, ethnicity, or religion.
It seems like the bill is making the definition of antisemitism a standard across the board because there has been so much disagreement over what exactly can be considered antisemitic.
Here's the bill:

And here is what the adopted definition of antisemitism will be:

Edited to add:
I'm curious as to how many people took the time to look up what the Bill actually says instead of just automatically accepting what some stranger typed into a Twitter/X message and then getting outraged about it.
Reading through this thread indicates it's not very many.
