Or you might want to check Schedule 1, section 5, which states that commenting is specifically exempt from the regulations and the bill is only in draft:

A user-to-user service is exempt if the functionalities of the service are limited, such that users are able to communicate by means of the service only in the following ways—

(a) posting comments or reviews relating to content produced and published by the provider of the service (or by a person acting on behalf of the provider of the service);

(b) sharing such comments or reviews on a different internet service;

(i) applying a “like” or “dislike” button or other button of that nature,

(ii) applying an emoji or symbol of any kind,

(iii) engaging in yes/no voting, or

(iv) rating or scoring the content (or the comments or reviews) in any way (including giving star or numerical ratings)

How many places can claim that their comment section can only be used for such comments, and not for any other content? You would need to manually screen everything that was submitted to ensure it didn't stray off-topic.
