Some folks who have been dropped from Twitch thanks to mob justice - where there's no actual crime - can't find a job in the entertainment industry anymore. Imagine being completely blacklisted from your industry because you were reported to have made someone uncomfortable (whether it actually happened or not).
Google never forgets, and people never forgive.
EDIT: To me, politeness doesn't make up for encouraging vigilante justice. My state has a long history of vigilante justice, and it's not pretty.
- Bud 6y agoYou're still misstating the issue; the "justice" in question isn't being executed by "vigilantes". It's a reaction of large institutions to someone's conduct.
- falcolas 6y agoThat's because I see zero difference between an institution and a mob of individuals. It's still extra-legal justice handed out by people. One simply does so while also holding a business license. EDIT: To be concrete: Pinkerton's (a corporation) was just as bad as the lynch mobs.
