Another thing that occurs to me—how can you moderate risk in PMs?
I can't... and DMs have been used to share shock images like Goatse, and some of those get reported.
The Act also covers harassment and stalking, and many would say that some people who bear grudges have done that on here, that it happens daily.
The Act also covers hate, and I myself have encountered transphobia, and every woman on here will show you the sexism everywhere, or the racism that is pretty much everywhere. It's subtle, but it's there.
There's no way we're a good place... we may be better than most, and more tolerant and accepting... but there's always some few who are present and also exhibiting the worst traits that drive the risk up... I cannot stop them, and tools proposed by the Act won't stop them either.

Another thing that occurs to me—how can you moderate risk in PMs? Wouldn't it be very easy to 'share' CSAM material in messages that only the recipients can see? You've always been clear that PMs are off-limits for moderation, but does the new law now not require that?
The tragedy of the commons—people acting out and pushing their issues into the public realm in all kinds of abusive ways, the virtual equivalent of destroying public infrastructure, etc.
