While I disagree with any sort of limits on free speech, the article is alarmist and the legislation does not apply to private individuals. What it does is limit oil companies from advertising or promoting their product. It also prevents paid speech on their behalf by shills. If only such laws were applied to vaxx companies and their propagandists, I might make an exception to my free speech beliefs.

"Under the bill, the promotion of fossil fuel use will be outlawed with restrictions similar to tobacco advertising applied.
Those who speak in favor of fossil fuels, or criticize plans to eliminate them, will face massive fines and possible prison time."
You mean the way people are fined and sent to prison for criticizing the tobacco industry?
