I do believe hate speech is illegal already.

Certainly online harassment leading to someone committing suicide is.

KF is a platform that facilitates these activities.

Not in the USA, no.

Harassment can be, but here "harassment" means making threats of violence, not just criticizing someone. That falls under "true threats":

Note that the older "fighting words" doctrine is probably obsolete and even then only applies to face-to-face conversation. For more on that see the prior link to Popehat.

Neither of those things are illegal in the US.

Documenting people's lives is not harassment.

Which jurisdiction are you speaking about? Do you have legal qualifications to dispense this advice?

The US is rather unique in their absolutist view of free speech and other countries don't work the same way. Generally, for example, this would be a violation of UK law.
