There's a difference between crowdsourcing identification/discovery/information processing and crowdsourcing punishment. The former has be done for a long time through things like wanted posters, and even the police in this article support it.
Turning the information over to the police and not taking the punishment into your own hands is key though. This includes harassing the person or their friends and families.
- scrollaway 11y agoMany have far more brutal names than the original, adding phrases like "leave him paralysed", "cut off his hands" and "castrate him" into the title. Does this scream punishment or identification to you?
- alwaysdoit 11y agoSorry if I was not clear. I consider threats harassment which I tried to explain are a kind of punishment that should not be taken into our own hands.
