Does political/moral differences create a volatile enviornment in social media?

Question

When it comes to social media, everything u post has the potential to "backfire" or be "blown out of proportion" rather youre an "every day" person or a celebrity, anything you post is open to scrutiny. With the current political climate, i have noticed more people losing their jobs over current or old social media post. While i definitly do not tolerate hate and blatant ignorance, and completely understand why one can lose their job over it, i personally have never really felt the need to Dig into someones past 3months let alone 5-10 years. 
i was watching this suspect episode where the person being used catfish people happened to be an YT influencer, she was also being stalked and someone was using her family as well as her pix to assume fake profiles. Long story short, the Youtuber mentioned wanting to get to the bottom of it because she feared if one of the fake accounts posted something intolerant or racist, she would be to blame for it. which got me thinking.. 
1. Have we created an environment where in one breath we can say "social media isnt real life" but in the next breath "drag" someone to the gutters because of a single social media post? 
2. Does posting someones personal information (where they work, birth name, address etc) ever "the right" thing to do when you dont agree with their social media choices (post, reblogs, likes etc)?
BONUS QUESTION 
while composing this i got side tracked and started thinking about "twitter detectives". some cases have been solved with the help of twitter or other social media platforms, in other cases the rumors "twitter detectives" started have lead to the death or assault of innocent people. Why is it that we are willing to risk someones livelihood over something that happened over social media? And at what point do we decide to take social media seriously or not?

Answer

I don’t get the “social media isn’t real life” mindset. It is real. It is real people engaging in communication with each other. The communication can be genuine, fake, or misleading just like personal human interaction.
I don’t think doxxing is right. I also don’t think it’s right to claim someone is responsible for a crime in public space...you should go to the authorities. But these principles apply to any area of the public sphere, not just social media. The only problem social media creates is now the common man can have just as much reach as the journalist or news reporter, but without the professional training (or job risk) that comes with publicizing this type of information.
I am fine with people facing consequences for the things they post on social media. I do think, however, that some forgiveness should be shown for things that were posted a significant time ago. We can all say or do things we aren’t proud of later, when we have leaned and grown. Are there exceptions? Probably. But I think “social justice” goes too far when people are calling for someone to lose their job when—in reality—their opinion or statement does not directly affect your life.

No, people being dicks does.

Answer

I think it is all in how you use social media. I am very hands off. This is the only social media app I have. I have never created a profile on Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, or anything else. I don’t want anything out there tied to my full name. Some people’s jobs are in social media. I think it would be naive to totally separate “real life” from “social media” because most social media platform’s main intentions are to connect with people we already know and expand our social circles. If you have your name and photo on an account, that’s your identity. Anything you say or do is representing you. Of course there are the unfortunate circumstances like that catfish episode where people do that for you, but hopefully people would understand and believe if something were to have been said. 
I agree with you that I’ve never felt the need to truly investigate and scroll through anyone’s social media. But people do that shit. That’s why I don’t have anything. I’m a stupid kid and I know I say stupid stuff sometimes. I would rather that not be publicized so I can learn from my mistakes and not let my lapse of judgment affect the rest of my life. I think if you’re trying to get a job somewhere, yet you’re a hateful asshole, you should delete your hateful asshole comments, tweets, posts, etc. because people will find them. And if you’re dumb enough (like that post the other day about the employee who said those terrible things about those seeking asylum) to publicly say terrible things, you deserve to lose your job. 
I have no idea if I properly answered what you were asking lol

Answer

I think political and moral differences on social media are fine, as long as there is mature discussion. The problem is the way people react to someone they disagree with. I can’t even count how many times I’ve been harassed by someone because I believe in something different than they do. It’s the society that has been created that’s the issue. So many people mistake standing up for their beliefs with just having a bad attitude and causing drama. Not everyone has to agree with you, some people just don’t accept that fact. And they attack.

Answer

Yes, but I need a middle ground here. I don’t ever think someone’s personal info (name, address, email, phone number) should be given out on social media without that person’s consent, regardless of their posts or general disposition. It’s not only tacky, it can create real hazardous situations. 
I do think people have the right to call out baseless and crass shit on social media, as they should in the real world, but I have a mixed bag of political ideologies within my platforms. I’ve seen name calling all over the place because of simple disagreements . It’s not only sad when adults can’t participate in civil discourse, it’s absurd.

Answer

I think regardless of the communication platform (social media is one platform) we use to discuss politics / moral differences we are always going to butt heads so to speak because different govs are made and created based on completely different sets of morals and beliefs (aka different religions), and until all religions "cease fire" and stop trying to make all other religions wrong and themselves right... until that stops we will always go head to head when it comes to anything political related, state (gov) + church (religion) = one/same thing. Religion + Gov go hand in hand... unfortunately and social media is a breeding ground for "hot heads" to create heated debates/arguments online without fear of consequences

Answer

I've seen someone get fired because of an old post from like 2005 on MySpace that you could almost make biiiig, confusing mental leaps into almost vaguely being a slightly sexist joke. This happened in 2016, so 11 years later. He wasnt fired for the post, the manager didnt care what he posted on his own time on his personal social media without claiming that he voiced opinions of his workplace. it was the harassment, constant calling by "offended" people, it
was  people coming in just to antagonize and verbally attack any employee or member of management because of the one post. it was the threats of violence against the worker and other employees as well as threats to vandalize the store and destroy people cars and personal property. having the worker employed became a liability to everyone around him. he was fired to protect the other workers.

I can't believe you just asked "Is doxxing the right thing to do instead of maturely disagree?" 😒
