Why do they have to apologize to society for making a mistake in a local setting? Social media has created this bizarre environment where a simple interaction between a couple people offends the entire world and then the entire world crushes the transgressor, ends their employment and demands an apology? That is insanity. Normal people should never be thrust into the position where they are forced to apologize to society for a normal mistake or face complete annihilation. Additionally, its not like social media waits for their target to apologize before wreaking havoc on their ability to feed their family. They just attack and then the apology is used as an additional attack vector because no matter what the apology is never enough.
