What is the significant harm caused by mishandled content moderation? ... for that matter, what does it mean for content moderation to be "mishandled?"

    That's a very good point and I have no arguments with it. Unfortunately, nothing about the California law really addresses it. The Fifth Circuit Court decision regarding coercion of social media sites will bind to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment, so California can't really enforce anything if they disagree with a company's moderation policy. That means the law reduces to perfunctory data collection, and it doesn't really tell consumers anything that logging into the site and going "Gee, this site sure is full of white supremacists advocating stochastic terrorism and nobody does anything about it" wouldn't tell them.

    Is not the same as actual terrorism.

      Irrelevant, though, as it still causes harm, which is the original differentiator.
