The bill specifies that the display of information would be prohibited if it intentionally incited a third person to cause “imminent great bodily harm” to the person identified, or if it would constitute a threat to the person, or place them in “objectively reasonable fear” for his or her safety.

I wonder how any of that is to be determined, and by what standard.

The only standard that would be applied is like all such lists - the one that has the lowest threshold. That is...

or place them in “objectively reasonable fear” for his or her safety.

This is the same standard used in campus speech codes to say that no speech should be allowed that would creat an "uncomfortable environment."
