Whose law? US law? KF operates outside the US. Are you ok with the US government deciding what's allowed on the internet and what isn't? What if the US government believes it's totally ok to murder trans people? Do we have to keep waiting for a law in that case too?

Is it reachable within the US? Are people interacting with US persons? Are you doing business with US companies (i.e. Cloudflare)? Then you're crossing the border and operating in the US.

It doesn't. You don't need an adjective between murder and people.
Also, harassing someone to the point of suicide isn't murder, it can be manslaughter.
No new laws are needed. Go bother your local DA or US attorney or legislative representatives to get charges filed for the actual harassment and the conspiracy to harass that lead to what should probably be manslaughter charges.
Make actual differences and actually hold the people who do these things accountable.
Don't go cheerleading for Cloudflare to do something meaningless that wouldn't and won't stop any of this in the future.
Yes, it pretty much is. Over here it's against the law to futher it. What's wrong with enshrining this principle in the actual law, that 1) affects the whole society, not just users of one particular corporation, 2) it's enforcement is dispensed by an actual court, not a PR department pushed by a twitter mob?
