Criminal Liability for Causing "Anxiety"

This provision criminalizes speech causing "public harm," "fear," "unrest," or "public disturbance" with definitions so broad they encompass normal business communications. Tech companies face criminal penalties (up to 500 penalty units + 1 month imprisonment) for content that causes "anxiety about public policy changes" or "significant reputational damage" to government institutions—making it impossible to build compliant content moderation systems or engage in legitimate policy advocacy. When combined with 76, executives face criminal liability for failing to prevent employee or user speech they cannot reasonably monitor, creating severe operational risks and chilling effects on digital innovation.
