For me, the question is not about whether it's harmful. I believe the central question, especially since we're talking about freedom of speech, is whether the state is the proper tool to use to reduce the harm. From my point of view as a 40 year old american, it feels as though the present discourse is much quicker to default to the state to solve problems, than it was when I was young. I don't think using the state to solve everything is unreasonable on its face, but I do think history teaches it tends towards disaster in the limit.
