Because real-life harassment isn't protected by first amendment.
A large part of the problem is people, like you, who view all of this as someone just expressing their opinion equally with others. That has nothing to do with targeted harassment and death threats to one's family.
In real life, people get prosecuted for this stuff. Unfortunately there's so many obstacles and hurdles to prosecuting Internet harassment that it only happens if the harassee is someone famous.
- golemotron 12y agoI'm not sure what you think I was saying. What I was saying was that I'm okay with Reddit not shutting down subreddits. What happened to Kathy was horrible and I don't condone it. But, while whack-a-mole-ing on the internet may make people feel better it doesn't fix the problem. Shutting down forums is a copout.
