Doesn't this act effectively create a new form of DDoS? A bad actor can sufficiently flood a platform with enough hate content that the moderation team simply cannot keep up. Even if posts default to not show, the backlog could be enough to harm a service.
And of course, it will turn into yet another game of cat and mouse, as bad actors find new creative ways to bypass automatic censors.
Aka a “heckler’s veto”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler's_veto
This already happens but attackers go after hosts and registrars.
