There are laws, but as a practical matter they aren't enforced.

Individuals are not held responsible for the threats and illegal speech they make. Look at all the threats made against people on social media. The fact that there is almost no accountability means it keeps happening.

The only repercussions most of the time is that the platform kicks you off. Part of it is, its their platform and from a business perspective having you around if you are too toxic isn't wise.

It seems like a society problem. Non enforcement and a lot of people with nothing to loose.
