And that's another part of this bill - discussion of 'illegal immigration' is now forbidden.

Is it a blanket ban on all discussion of illegal immigration or is it something more specific? Like discussing plans to help immigrants or something.

If it is a complete ban, how will online news outlets cover the subject?

Unknown at this stage. I suspect it's being kept intentionally vague so they can shutdown whatever they like but leave up the GB News/Daily Heil type propaganda.
