If the Internet Outrage Machine was given real power, like legal power to enforce 'their' vision of 'acceptable' would the world be a better place? Why or why

If the Internet Outrage Machine was given real power, like legal power to enforce 'their' vision of 'acceptable' would the world be a better place? Why or why not?
Would such a situation create a true mono-culture? If so, would this be a good thing? Why or why not?

- nine_k 6y agoAs long as it's about outrage, I doubt it. «Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.» Or, as somebody said, it's always a temptation to use the devil's enviable energy to pull your cart; the problem is that he knows only one destination.
- lmm 6y agoThe problem is the lack of precedent or due process, which creates a chilling effect. You can fairly easily have a happy life under an actual codified set of rules about how to behave - even an oppressive one. When people's lives are destroyed on a seemingly arbitrary whim, when someone who was targeted by accident has no recourse, that's a sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head.
