We really need a separate digital wilderness for single men to blow off steam. Making the old online hitching posts (like facebook, google, video games, ect) family friendly, or else! then a lot of disaffected young men are going to be venting their lack of financial/dating success somewhere else. Are we just going to dump these people out onto the streets and hope it all works out politically?

We have the space already we just have to move the and build infrastructure. The nonsense is all commercial based. There is no need to know anything about visitors to a site unless you want to make money.

Where are you pulling this from? The article does not discuss the nature of the messages in any way.

  The available summary of the preliminary injunction doesn't mention the messages themselves, but it does state that the plaintiff is being accused of (sexually) transgressive behaviour by the posts they want to see removed. It's possible that this is just some abusive asshole using the court to clear their name. It's equally possible that the accusations are all made up and that the person who posted them has a grudge against the plaintiff for rejecting them. We have no real indication either way, other than that the judge believed that there is a chance the plaintiff is in the right. Either way, I think it's fair to assume something went wrong during a date. I'm not sure what the rest of the parent post is referring to.

    There does not have to have been a date though. The story could have been made up by someone who just saw his profile on some dating site and did some creative writing based on that.

I don't see any connection to the topic at hand.

I'm sorry but this is a terrible take. This isn't people venting about bad dating success, this is people (who understand the importance of privacy, since they post anonymously) posting personally identifying information and pictures of people they feel have wronged them romantically, like it's some sort of product review and not another human being.
