So, if the case goes as expected, it becomes possible to defame anyone online as long as you only quote defamatory writings or speech. The art of untouchable defamation will consist of nothing more than finding something sufficiently vile to repeat.

That's a very large expansion of the usual protections, since "editing" also consists of selection (at least until now.)
