I'm increasingly worried about the decentralized mob-like "consequences" for problematic speech. Sure, it's not the government taking away tour citizenship or committing violence against you, but it's easy for your life to be destroyed by a single tweet or Facebook post. If tensions are especially high, you could have your home or business vandalized or burned down.
Social media can whip people into a frenzy and create a tyranny worse than what the government can do because there is virtually no accountability. The court of public opinion doesn't let you appeal your sentence.
