> This is a way to shut down any unmoderated online community using a troll army.
Which is nearly every online community. The economics of accurate moderation to legal standards are completely unrealistic.
People see hundred billion dollar companies and assume they're swimming in cash, but most of them have something like ten billion in annual revenue against a billion users. The total is large but the amount per user is not.
There is zero possibility of paying someone with the legal knowledge to make accurate balancing decisions to read and evaluate the legality of every user's posts. And short of that you're going to have huge numbers of false positives or false negatives.
Pass a law that prohibits false negatives and the result is false positives through the roof. Past the point that it will shutter legitimate forums.
