This has potential to be serious dent in freedom of speech and promoting more politicall correctness.

Not really--all it does is make sure that a critic actually backs up his statements.  That said, if it cleans up their mouths on the way, I'm all for it.

It is actually a little bit of both. It makes critics back up statements but it can have a negative effect on freedom of speech too.

This law made it so I cannot post on my Twitter, "I just saw Movie X, it sucked." I have to give a massive explaination which with Twitter's text limit probably wouldn't allow someone to properly do.

How is this law going to differentiate between a general person, a person being paid off by a company for their statement, and a critic? it can't.
