>The claim I'm making is that they are underprotected online.
Yes, and not only is it wrong (they are protected sufficiently), but giving an inch to the same moral impulses and people that resulted in them being overprotected in the real world will naturally result in them taking a mile.
The ideal number of human beings that do stupid shit and pay for it is not zero, nor can it be in any functioning society.
I would even argue that doing stupid shit and paying for it is part of growing up, just as long as the degree is limited to not be life shattering.
