- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoHarassment is bad, but judges and jurors already face harassment from offline mobs, including many within living memory who actively wanted to murder them. The system's generally robust against that kind of thing.
- Tycho 6y agoI don’t think it’s necessarily robust against the increased visibility and coordination that social media brings.
- corty 6y agoThe internet mob doesn't need any help from the justice system beyond maybe a little swatting. The rest just works by threatening friends, family, employer and the rest of a victims social circle. That usually suffices to destroy a person's life thoroughly.
