How would you work that? This person lives in the US, what if the shaming was started by a person in Belgium? They're not under US jurisdiction. Now they have to prosecute thousands of people? We can't even get people to stop fighting over non-existent deities and holy places, or figure out how to get everyone on board with renewable energy, but internet shaming will bring the collective governments together in action? Yeah, I don't see it.
