Oh, the harassment laws are perfectly up to date. The problem is that we then have to rely on...
1. that being the case literally everywhere; otherwise, it's just a matter of moving the harassment sources to a friendly jurisdiction
2. the police to enforce them, although the police are known to often be complicit in similar conduct (harassment of minorities)
3. this enforcement to actually cause positive changes in people's behavior, which, given the current state of the US "criminal justice" system, won't happen
The legal system is ill-equipped to handle this not because of a lack of laws, but because the legal system is full of humans who often don't treat the safety of vulnerable people as a priority.
