Except on Twitter, just like in reality, their friends can come after you.
- manigandham 8y agoAnd you can continue blocking them on Twitter, whereas in reality, assault and harassment is already a crime, so I'm not sure what your point is.
- rhizome 8y agoContinue blocking, as in whack-a-mole on their brigading followers, or I can continue blocking that one account? If the latter: no shit; if the former: you underestimate the task.
- manigandham 8y agoPerhaps I wasn't clear - if people come after you in the physical world (which you cannot escape), that is a crime and we have the appropriate police and judicial departments to take care of it. If people send you messages online on a public social media platform (which you can turn off at anytime), it is not a big deal. Massive difference between both. Twitter already provides several tools like blocking notifications from unknowns and making your profile private if you want to reduce the noise, but fundamentally Twitter is based on public broadcast so perhaps you would be better suited to something like Snapchat which focuses on private personal connections instead.
