> I'm curious if this could be addressed with laws
In some cases the laws are front-running the tech companies, and in other cases it's the reverse. The problem (hand-waving warning) is the vocal minority of the easily-offended enforcing their sterile worldview on a political class too scared of being seen to be permissive of anything less than that which would paint them as puritanical.
Despite the realities these laws and policies are incompatible with.
Having said all that, yes, it _should_ be laws that address these things.
