I think those that are liable to spew hate online simply do not get the emotional feedback they need to correct their behaviour. It is too difficult to learn to be a better human when everyone is just a display picture and a short bio. Having your messages deleted, reading angry responses, being banned.... These consequences are not positively didactic. They only teach one to abandon identity, to forego respect and intimacy, and to dissociate from the real humans behind the digital facades. Ethics must first be taught in person, in context, and as part of a community to which one owes something. The online world is like a reflection that can only be understood by a limited set of human senses.
