Should Social Media Play a Role in Punishing Offensive Actions

[Antonio the Sixth]

Certainly not, but I see nothing wrong with them bringing attention to these offensive actions so that they can then be punished through appropriate vehicles.

Obviously most social media activism is awful and moronic, but it can still do some good at times.

Depends on what the action is.

Bill Cosby, for example, has arguably already suffered enough punishment from social media/other media alone. Virtually everyone except for possibly his wife and kids now thinks, even when just merely glancing at a picture of him or hearing his name, "oh, that's the rape guy."

So you think public shaming is a sufficient punishment for rape and an appropriate substitute for jail time?
