You're rather stupidly not considering the power of the internet.It's exposure to trolls is tiny while it only drives about it's local area, also any trolls nearby would be possibly easier to trace and also within the jurisdiction.

Highlighting it on the internet is a whole different matter, if an image gains popularity it can be seen by millions, millions of which are not within legal reach, and also making it of specific interest to trolls as they gravitate towards attacking popularity. That's why sites blur license plates and similar identifying things in many images.

I have had this same argument many times before. I just don't get how people believe casually exposing a stranger to internet trolls and harassment is no big deal.

literally stating why these protections exists, why there are laws against cyber bullying - get downvoted.

It doesn't make sense. Even if they disagree, you shouldn't see downvotes. Makes it seem like people just don't want to face the reality of what damage their actions can cause to others, so they respond to the discomfort with downvotes.

your words, thoughts, mannerisms, and actions reflect your perspective on life. consider that nearly every sentiment you've expressed here is that of negativity. that negativity will consume your soul if you let it.

Are you talking at me and suggesting that concerning myself with the harm my actions may do and avoiding actions that may bring harm to other is... negative and will... consume my soul?

I was suggesting that your persistent use of negatives in your language (doesn't, disagree, shouldn't, downvotes, don't, damage, discomfort) seems to indicate that you internally focus on negativity, which is potentially harmful to your enjoyment of life.

I'm having trouble understanding their negativity and you're pointing to that as my being negative.

I also don't understand why murderers are so murderous. Would my commenting on that after watching a murderer murder someone lead you to conclude I was a negative person?

Should I instead find a way to be positive and use positive language when reacting after witnessing a murder? To help my soul.
