I'm conflicted on this issue. I think it harms the people who use it, and I have been harmed by my use of it, but at the same time I am uncomfortable about such a ban-through-law due to speech issues? Not that there's any valuable speech that is expressed through it, but I think it is best to have a very wide buffer around the region of "what could actually be important as a way to express views", because if the boundary of what is legally protected is at all close to the boundary of things actually important to protect, I expect the law to get it wrong and have things that need to be protected, not be protected. Or at least, I think the risk of that is too high.
(Though, the really weird thing is how there is porn about porn being harmful? bizarre.)
(That being said, I'm all for private platforms tending to ban it, at least provided that the reason they can do so isn't just due to monopoly stuff. So if twitter banned it, that would be good imo.)
