"Directly resulting in their harm" is an unenforceable standard, unless you are referring to hitting someone with a printed copy, which I suspect you are not.

An example of direct harm, would be an totally imaginary article that aims to humiliate or defame someone. It's not true; it's not real, but its directly aimed at destroying a persons reputation anyways.

This is something that current day harassment laws (and in some countries slander laws) already cover.

It works poorly. A true article that destroys someone's reputation is equally harmful, but (in the US), completely protected.
