> are you going to surveil and psychologically analyze everyone in the world in order to detect and pre-crime imprison everyone

No one suggested this; strawman.

There are a whole lot of ways to harass someone using proxies beyond swatting and the traditional ordering of 40 pizzas to their house. Even if any given proxy only falls for it once it can be really bad.

Coming up with ways to counter these kinds of harassment campaigns is important, but it probably doesn't involve "pre-crime imprison[ment]".
