People behaving in an inappropriate manner should be dealt with. The victim should not be expected to put up with it, let alone be required to take any steps to mitigate the behaviour.
Your solution would, for example, mean that the perpetrator of the homophobic language that Maggys daughter has had to endure (if it were to take place on the unternet) to face no action and continue to do it.

Theres not a chance that this will happen for the reasons i've already outlined. In fact, with the advent of the Metaverse, chat rooms, social media, forums etc are likely to be replaced by it and usage of the internet is expected to rise, with most young people spending a huge proportion of their lives online.
Sadly, trolling, sexual abuse, paedophilic activity etc is already rearing it's ugly head on the Metaverse, so legislation is required to keep people safe.

No reason to allow parents to abdicate their responsibilities.I didn't as a parent and teacher.Constantly cutting back on other people's freedoms to express themselves just means that they will find newer and more underhand means to allow their viewpoint out into the world.Better to keep them under observation than hiding away from view.Stop thinking you can nanny the universe.
