The obvious answer would be that people saying stupid things on the internet aren't as big a problem as stupid people doing stupid things in the real world because they read stupid things on the internet.

That being said, pizzagate is pretty obviously libel and the guys who own that store should be basically suing those responsible for it into bankruptcy. Where did that story actually originate? Was it someone within the USA or someone in Eastern Europe being funded by the Russians? The latter is a bigger problem because there's no obvious remedy.
