There's different degrees of harm. We all live in society, that means our choices impact other people. The electronics powering the infrastructure we're using are full of cobalt picked by child hands. You can't eat almonds without contributing to death.

There's a significant difference between punching someone in the face vs posting a Facebook article. And in my opinion, trying to exert control over the expression of others is a much more deliberate and direct act.
