I think the most dangerous people in the world are self-righteous idealists who wants to do good. They often end up causing lots of harm. Although, I do see that idealism can be good in some situations.

People are starting to realize social media is not that friendly. Every statement made in public gets recorded and attached to your real identity forever. Kids who say stupid shit get that held against them forever from employers, associates or even random stalkers. All for the need of some targeted advertising. Hopefully, the generation coming after that would learn and be more privacy-aware.

South Korea, as I understand it, has this principle of ensuring that the author of anything Internet can be personally identified.
This kind of accountability might help even the odds between what is otherwise a named individual vs. an anonymous mob. I honestly don't know if it's a good idea or not, though.

It seems like an individually game-theoretic optimization to the online shaming problem is to abstain from discussing any controversial or potentially controversial issue, offline or offline, at any time, for any reason.

Hasn't Scott Aaronson himself gotten salty at people he disagrees with?
