> If I get scammed or treated badly in person in a real public space, I can immediately punch the perpetrator

No, you cannot. Especially not if the person treating you badly in a public space is either twice your size or has a group of people with them.

Unless we are going to dive into the concealed carry fantasies (which don’t even apply to most countries in the first place), imo that whole line of reasoning about physical vs digital public spaces is a dead-end.
