    To me, this feels like school politics.

    OMG! Jaden invited ICE to his birthday party! I’m never talking to him again!

    Oh No! ICE nabbed Julio! I’m telling the teacher and they will get suspended!

    Probably a good number of these people are actual children. I know there are adults who have broadly similar ideas. For someone living a very sheltered and privileged life, being trolled on the internet is the absolute worst form of aggression they ever experience. Particularly in Europe, activists and politicians talk about “digital violence”, which tells you that they have no sense of proportion.
