Doesn't this act effectively create a new form of DDoS? A bad actor can sufficiently flood a platform with enough hate content that the moderation team simply cannot keep up. Even if posts default to not show, the backlog could be enough to harm a service.

And of course, it will turn into yet another game of cat and mouse, as bad actors find new creative ways to bypass automatic censors.

This already happens but attackers go after hosts and registrars.
