It is both. Speed limits work because majority of the people respect them. Cops can’t control the entire population, if majority choose to misbehave. This is what it feels like online. People seem to relish in posting other’s misfortune, mistakes etc with little consequences. They do things online that they wouldn’t dare to do in real life.
If the attitude doesn’t change, no amount of laws would help

This is what it feels like online. Have you never driven on an interstate highway outside of rush hour? People go the speeds they deem reasonable for the conditions. Sometimes this is in the ballpark of the speed limit. In many situations it is much faster. People don't follow unenforceable rules unless they agree with them. If "the majority are misbehaving" the definition of "misbehaving' needs to be adjusted.
