I know it's despotic but I agree.
Every village has an idiot. But they're isolated. You bring about the internet and social media, all those village idiots can come together (without coming together physically) it emboldens their views and gives them power and more scope to convince more morons into it. See: flat-earthers, communists, neo-nazis, <insert fringe view here>.
pubs/clubs have 'door-men', so a voluntary code though to protect their customers, themselves, which, would soon be in other institutions if needed,
so I don't see the physical space analogy as off-beam.
There's been no NZ backlash from youtube advertisers afaik, like, somewhat, for the comments on childrens videos,
....Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody
wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when
Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

They're private establishments.
The internet is legally public:

you're right ... but, once you've negotiated your https encryption with fb, say, is that still true, - you have accepted an invitation to their private space. ?
This will be the end of social media, unless your a bland person.
The biggest problem for social media sites is the people who sign up to social media sites.
This is all about dumbing down debate. Though I can see why some people dont have any problem with that

No such thing as ‘debate’ on social media. Literally no loss to anyone if they disappear.
I can't see what role fb/google played in the identification of them, but, New Zealand are prosecuting video distributors .. would the UK similarly prosecute folks ?
Indeed, facebook was again, up in front of digital content commitee this week, however, I did not see any discussion on uploader identification/prosecution.

Aahh Vigilante justice.
I wonder what could go wrong. :|
Wouldn't work. Go look at the nonsense known as cancel culture.
You will just get a different style of bullying instead
The platforms need this type of content to survive, imagine Twitter without all the stuff people deem harmful, it would be dead.
To make it work there would need to be a very narrow scope on genuinely harmful content vs stuff that may offend.

We'd basically end up as a country like China and North Korea where everyone openly loves the government and parrots whatever messaging has been approved by those with power over society for fear of repercussions. I mean we've already seen something similar with COVID where things were dismissed as conspiracy theory and people cancelled for voicing them, even though they were later proven to be correct. Who wants to live in a society where being in the consensus is more important than being right?
