Remove anonymity.
I’m not advocating for that. The internet would be a boring dystopia, but it sure as shit would be nicer if every statement could be tied back to a real person.
Heads up: you probably misread the question. It's not "What would you do" but "What do you do"
Ah yes I did. Thank you. I will delete.
Would it? Facebook is a cesspool.
I doubt even a third of facebooks profiles can be easily traced to a real person. Be that as it may, I answered the wrong question so it’s a bit of a moot point.
I don't think this is the case. People are assholes in real life too. People get videos taken of them being violent or racist all the time and they don't care. They just come up with some bullshit excuse. Look at all the celebrities that said some dumb shit in Twitter and the next day was like "whoa lol don't drink and take ambian."
Agree lots of people are assholes in real life too.
I don’t think the internet would suddenly be “nice” (and boring). It would be “niceR” though.
