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.

How many small bloggers will not be afraid to write bad review about game x if they know they can be prosecuted for it and in best case they will have to do few hours of paperwork.

It will be much safer to never criticize anyone too much.
