I believe in the tolerance social contract. You deserve rights so long as you respect the rights of others. Kiwi farms has absolutely no respect for anybody's rights, and hence does not deserve any themselves.
I agree with you in principle. My only concern is who is judging, and making the decision that someone doesn't have any rights. If it's private companies? That's going to be very bad for all of us.
Imagine a small town power company turning off the power to a small town newspaper because they said something mean about their cousin the sheriff.
Right now, this is analogous to having an active shooter walking around gunning down people, and a random person safely elsewhere saying 'Don't shoot him, he has rights!'. No, people are actively suffering and dying. Fix the emergency first, then consider the ramifications.
Sort of. Corps have become bloated with power and this would just be another notch on the belt, however, if there's an active shooter, it's the police's job to take care of it, not local businesses.
This should also be a government role to send people like this to trial. We already live in a surveillance state, use it to stop shit heads at least.
