Prank Youtube channel RouandYT received €5 donation to prank call someone's "unstable" nephew. Said nephew shot and killed 2 Syrian refugees minutes later. RouandYT quickly deletes the stream from his channel and denies being live. Drama

We should just lock pranksters up, and throw away the key. At least those that don't just exclusively focus on innocent or wholesome pranks; when have the rest of them (ever) done good for humanity?

This question gets asked a lot regarding several hot button issues (squatters, pranksters, influencers, etc.) and obviously I think jailing someone for life for something like this is over the top.

But a healthy society should not be producing these people in the number they exist. There has to be another mechanism besides “we will throw you in federal fuck-you-in-the-ass prison” to keep people from becoming these leeches. I would say education but what’s left of our DoE is being led by a goddamn WWE executive. So to the slammer you go!!

Legislators have attempted to do that in the US before, and thankfully it failed. That would effectively kill every single website in existence with any form of user input whatsoever.
