I think we need to make a distinction about people "being held accountable" on 2 different fronts -- I'm all for the law, as every here knows, I'm all for lawsuits going forward and if the plaintiff wins/loses, well them's the breaks. IF Jones loses a lawsuit over Sandy Hook or what have you, then them's the breaks for Alex. Because if the law allows for THAT kind of being held accountable, then that's the law and he lost.
Now there's the "un-personing" bit..... any and every person should be allowed to say bad shit, ugly shit, daring shit, and another person should be allowed to call them out on that. Thats all just freedom of speech. If it can be pursued in court, well then, again, I'm all for it, litigate the fuck away, and whatever the outcome is, well then thats the outcome. System works fine. Laws should be enforced.
But this de-platforming/unpersoning/canceling shit/can't use certain banks/can't use PayPal, etc.... WTF, you can hate someone as much as you want, but punishing them like that because you hate them or you think they "went too far" is just crazy. If it cant be settled in court, well, it means its not a legal matter. And we cannot enforce MORAL matters, can we.
