It's a bit early in the morning in Europe, so there are probably not a lot of users online, but since I'm awake anyway, I can give you my opinion: on one hand, there is definitely a sentiment that online hate is a problem and something needs to be done about it. On the other hand, I guess most would agree that this is an exaggerated response (probably the thinking behind it was: "we can't find all those other guys, but hey, this idiot actually confirmed it was his account, so let's make an example of him to show we are doing something about online hate"). But yeah, things like this happen. A different example: there were some "creative" protests by environmentalists against the new "greenwashed" automobile fair IAA which has moved from Frankfurt to Munich since this year - defacing freeway signs etc.. Nine of the activists involved will be kept in "preventive custody" until the end of the fair (for one week) - https://twitter.com/mic_tra/status/1435529384174227459 https://twitter.com/mic_tra/status/1435529384174227459.
