For me I would hold the social media companies more to account when it comes to hate speech and harassment online and force social media companies to do more to stop online harassment and hate speech.

    Realistically, the law forcing platforms themselves to moderate better is probably our best bet, but even that is a sloooow drag.

    Look at Twitter. In Germany alone there are hundreds of cases of hate speech (probably beyond a thousand now) that the courts could use to really, and I mean really hammer down on Twitter.

    All of these cases combined could amount to fines in the billions, making one single country capable of destroying that platform.

    That’s old news by now, and nothing happened. So… yeah.
