That's a good and reasonable personal ethic, but it transfers into a (imo) poor, even disingenuous public discourse.
Let's say we're talking about the clickbait/trolling problem in political discourse. We can berate some prominent individual, but that individual is inevitable. If she wasn't doing the clickbait, someone else would be and we'd be beratying them.
Focusing on the individual when a problem is systemic can be empty, righteous moralising.
The individuals come together to create a society with rules. To be a part of society one must follow those rules.
Ethics, to me, have a place there, and it would be better in all cases to establish those rules or norms in your society, or your culture, rather than regressive actions like banning something.
