If they don't things could get messy as online offences take place where you physically are when you publish the comments so, if someone wanted to make misogynistic comments they could leave Scotland, publish their remarks and then return to Scotland!!

The Scottish Parliament can’t bind the UK Government to act in reserved areas - which the regulation of telecommunications is.

The Scottish Government do have form for ill thought out legislation though.
