This goes a bit beyond the purpose of the website but is in context of what you wrote about incrimination and vigilantes: It is amazing how quickly and effortlessly the otherwise so liberal and typically indifferent average internet user will turn into a zealous vigilante from behind their keyboard - I remember countless instances of that on reddit and 4chan basically calling for a lynch mob on people who tortured animals or did other very-bad-image crimes.(And by "bad image" I am referring to the fact that the average internet vigilantes I encountered definitely has strongly skewed priorities as to which crimes need the most severe punishment) And there are reports of the same being rather "popular" in China. And the worst part was? You could not convince them that what they are doing is completely wrong, illegal and immoral by all of our modern social standards. I mean, really, what ever happened to "in dvbio pro reo" and do these people not realize how very much alike their actions are to the dark times of the SS/SA, Gestapo and Stasi? How can you justify "taking things into your own hands" and ruining other people's life?
