Let's say I post something online. And let's say that 100 people decide, not just that they disagree, but that they want to destroy me. They send anonymous rants and threats to my employer, my family, my neighbors, and my friends. They dox me, so that I have to worry about physical harm from any random nutcase who agrees with them and decides to bother.
What consequences do they face? Does anyone go to their boss (times 100) and say, what this person is doing isn't right, and is making your company look bad? Does anyone dox the doxxers?
I'm not saying it doesn't happen to Social Justice types. I'm saying, whoever it's done to, do the people doing it face consequences of their own? (If the Social Justice types are doing this themselves, then in their case the answer is yes.)
It's easy for a group of 100 angry people to cover one person they decide to destroy. It's less easy for the one person to return the favor to all 100 of them.
You say (paraphrased) that free speech still has the consequences of the feedback. That's fine. But the feedback has to also have the consequences of feedback.
Yes, people do doxx the doxxers, and yes those people get calls to their bosses when that happens.
The reason so many of them are pseudonymous is precisely because of that. Hell, 4chan and 8chan used to have three threads active at any time to do so until they banned it from the site (it moved to other places).
