cuz says so <| sep |> You certainly may have that opinion , and I ' m not going to argue with you on that , but it is a Very Clear example of things posted in or attributed to your online account somewhere ruining your normal meatspace life . Which was my entire point ? With that as an example , it is clear that yes , in fact , posts or activity on social media can definitely ruin your otherwise not connected to social media life or harm you . If it ' s possible to and it is and it ' s confirmed that admins or the ceo of the company have literally changed someone ' s public post without any way to verify that they did it that they don ' t control , that it could be used maliciously . Absolutely moderation , rule enforcement , or even telling people to fuck off is absolutely something that is a reasonable response to getting shit on by people en masse . Editing their posts , and calling into question the plausibility of something harmful or negative being posted from an account as actually being what that user wrote , is not . To maintain integrity and the confidence that yes in fact , that shitty hate filled post or tweet came from this person . or what have you .
