@jmaris @hazelweakly @modulux @sohw this only gets harder when the issue requires empathy or a reasonable understanding of the harms faced by a group or individual that not all community managers are well-versed in.
But to the question of regulation addressing these issues, I would suggest that many/most harms are already illegal under other laws, harassment is harassment after all, but enforcement of cyber-violence/cyber-bullying relies on the victim doing the work. It would seem to me (1/2)

@jmaris @hazelweakly @modulux @sohw ... communities/platforms could be regulated to better report these harms and support victims, and again, this would necessitate some level of shared signals in interoperating / interconnected communities. Tooling is required for sure, but as with most things on social, it's a social problem, not a tech problem. Big tech and law enforcement have generally shrugged at things that happen online that they would never tolerate offline. Online *is* IRL
