If you mean by vigilantism, that’s a good way to get innocent people murdered. Unless you know some foolproof way for every random person out there who decides to take the law into their own hands to only kill the guilty. Good luck with that considering the history of “internet sleuths.”
I mean, it’s easy to find the c-suite and board of directors of any company.
It’s also easy to mistake one person for another. It’s happened over and over and over again. People with the same name as someone else get harassed because they get doxxed and the harassers don’t bother checking.
You must know this. How many times have we seen it played out now?

This poor guy killed himself over it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Sunil_Tripathi
And now we’ve added assassination into the mix.
Do you really think this is going to end without any innocent blood spilled?
Edit: It’s also not hard to convince a bunch of people some random person is an evil CEO just by doxxing them. Like I said, people don’t bother checking.
Innocent people are already getting murdered. At least one murderer has now been held accountable that otherwise wouldn’t have. That’s a net positive to me so far.
People just want school shooters to update their targeting algos…
But funny how we don’t have these moral discussions when school shootings happen though
Hmm
Everyone seems to agree that school shootings shouldn’t happen, but Americans have been fed a steady diet of vigilante superhero myths since the creation of Superman in the 1930s and too many of them want to be their own Batman or Punisher.
