Perhaps this is a stupid question but why should e.g. treat these things _so_ fundamentally different than things we already have rules and regulations for?
Going back in time, what about newspapers and letters to the editor? Those had a clear range of what was allowed and acceptable.
Is there really anything stopping us from using these rules except for being afraid to not post bullshit everywhere unsanctioned any longer?

Because a lot more communication is done over private platforms these days. When working from home even informal work conversations are done over some cloud-hosted chat.
