>Agreed, but realistically: for the near future there will be no legislative restriction in the US on harmful content. Congress is far too grid-locked for that, not to mention the question if meaningfully combatting hate speech and bullying can actually be done via laws or requires constitutional amendments - which are even more unrealistic.
Alternatively, such restrictions would just be unpopular, especially if they were seen as likely to be enforced in a way that lacks due process. Asking for powerful private companies to effectively restrict people's rights as an end-run for democracy and due process is rightfully unsettling.
