Yeah, because of the danger of a physical altercation, that potential drawback is taken away while interacting online
What's the drawback of making some alt accounts/sockpuppet accounts and going harass someone you dislike? Getting an Ip ban at most I'd gather rather than getting your nose broken by a punch from someone on the street
There is little to no credible deterrence in online discussions
- rhn_mk1 4y agoI'd go even farther: what's the drawback of not making some alt accounts and still doing the harassment? There will be no physical altercation. And indeed, this is what happens. Alts are used to evade bans. Anonymity clearly is not the cause.
