Re: Is internet vigilantism good or bad?

So if you find out that someone online is a literal neo-Nazi, the proper response is to do nothing? And if you publicize the fact, it's cyberbullying? That's what we're saying here?

Wow um, you're really strawmanning here.

I think 'literal neo nazi' falls under potentially dangerous people. Just because that's not the example they used doesn't mean they think that's okay.

Here's a question for you. Why are you so against someone being hesitant to indulge in online vigilante attacks ?

That's not quite my issue. My issue is that "online vigilante attacks" is a really wide-ranging, imprecise phrase. And I can think of plenty of things that someone could describe as online vigilante attacks to that I wouldn't think were bad. publicizing the fact that someone is a literal neo-Nazi is one example - I think that someone could easily describe that as "online vigiliantism".

So I get very sketchy about the idea of condemning online vigilantism without any more specific information about what we mean by that. And I think it's an example of a more general trend of sort of... coming up with over-general norms to dismiss things as mean or nasty without thinking through their context.
