So what's the alternative? Pervasive censorship and horrible privacy and freedom-of-speech destroying legislation like UK's Online Safety Act?

I'm not looking forward to the day when half of the Internet will require me to upload my ID to verify that I'm an adult, and the other half will be illegal/blocked because they refuse to do the verification. But yeah, think of the children!

The alternative is as usual, getting certain individuals to the court and making them pay for the damage or even to go to jail, instead of preemptively trying to give them a holy cow status.
