> Vigilante “justice” is problematic because it leaves room for people to harm others without proper evidences of wrong doing.

Isn’t this exactly what the people are KF were doing? Only instead of trying to get a website kicked off the internet, they were trying to get people fired from their jobs, weaponizing the police, trying to drive people to suicide. And not in the service of any sort of justice, but for entertainment. That is sick and it is evil.

They should absolutely be shunned and ostracized for their antisocial behavior. Free speech means that other people have the right to show you the door if you are acting like a jerk.
