Can we please freaking pull back on talking about things without linking to them or being explicit enough to make it easy for people to find them, because we're angry and don't want to give someone we don't like clicks?

i would think, at least in this particular case, people mostly didn't link to the story because of the immense amount of harassment she was facing. in other situations, people seem to want to avoid being caught by name searching narcissists. everybody sucks, essentially.
I just think it's gone too far. Let the narcissists worry about their narcissism, let the public figures worry about being harassed, and give ordinary people the information they need to understand what's going on.

i think it's a question of your reach on the platform. if you have tens of thousands of followers, you bear some responsibility for what they do when you post stuff. i wouldn't want to contribute to somebody else's harassment. and i wouldn't want to incite my own, either.

I tend to think people are mostly responsible for themselves- although definitely don't be someone who amasses a harassment-inclined following. Ask your followers not to harass anyone, if necessary, but they're responsible for themselves.
