One-to-many should be treated on a site-by-site basis. Hacker news is pretty heavily moderated, and that's fine for hacker news. 4chan is lightly moderated, depending on the board, and that's fine for 4chan. But back in the day, even 4chan decided to ban specific things beyond legal issues like CSAM or raids or people sharing personal information (all of which could also face legal penalties even if they were not publicly broadcast). They specifically banned My Little Pony content on /b/, just because it was annoying too many users. No clue if the ban is still present, but it's their business whether it is or not.
Sites shouldn't need to justify this to any central authority, the government does not need to be more involved in this process, and this law is stupid (and would likely lead to conflicts with another stupid set of laws, SESTA and FOSTA).
