Strong warning that "risk assessments" are an extremely dangerous passive censorship tool. Mandatory ones should be deleted.
1) Companies (and honestly, even the government) are very bad at quantifying risk. An "assessment" is also evidence which can be twisted against them, either in the court of public opinion, a real court, or somewhere else. Also, even if a company tries to be proportionate (or rights respective), the apparent fact they passed over "some apparent risk" can be twisted against them to achieve clearly authoritarian ends.
2) Companies (and government) are uniquely susceptible to any group (and their ideas) who brand themselves as "anti-exploitation". They might have very weird motivations (such as religious ones) or pursue various brands of hearsay.
3) It allows lawmakers to wash their hands of explicitly demanding various modes of censorship, even if that is what they practically expect.
