Can we assume you’ve never moderated any forum, or the comments on any web site?

Any site owner automatically removes thousands of spam comments. But these aren’t illegal. Your system would either:

1. Force sites to publish all legal spam, or

2. Face liability if anyone sneaks illegal content in. In practice all sites would need to censor all comments until they passed human approval. At big sites would probably need approval from lawyers.

Platforms would need to allow themselves to be DDOS... Not gonna happen. It won't stop alt-right talking heads with no clue about the world to promote their "platform/publisher" agenda.
