References to what? I'm talking about the headline of the article, which is "Irish Gov Makes Critizising Big Tech and Irish DPC a Crime", and the article text which does not support that claim at all. Even based on the article text, you'd be able to criticize both as much as you want even if this law was passed.

Like, sure, I get it. Writing an honest headline would make it harder to rile up a mob. But if the law is as bad as they claim it is, surely it is possible to describe that honestly and still have it be effective.
