This exposes a risk of not using social media. One could be ostracized or harassed due to false content on social media and never know precisely why. Imagine the paranoia that would create, given the clear temptation for people to subtly harass the accused.
This is very true, and something I had not considered. A persons right to face their accuser is limited if the person does not know they have been accused in the first place
