Confronting Reality Dissuades Disinformation

People often spread harmful disinformation online without considering its real-world impact. When confronted in person about their actions, most individuals express horror upon learning that their posts caused harm, such as inciting violence against marginalized groups. This reaction reveals a significant gap between online behavior and offline ethics; individuals feel incentivized to engage in harmful discourse only within the safe confines of digital platforms. Furthermore, efforts to hold individuals accountable, such as local law enforcement's interventions, demonstrate that personal confrontation can lead to immediate corrective actions. However, social media companies remain unresponsive in helping mitigate the spread of such harmful content, underscoring a lack of accountability in the digital space.
