Ask HN: Should criminals be publicly shamed?

Depends. Are you trying to improve the behavior of bad actors? Or scare randos away from acting badly? And how much do you worry about false-positives and out-of-proportion punishment?

Myself, I think it's starting to look a bit like that short story, The Lottery. I just assume that I will be (falsely) accused sooner or later, and plan accordingly.
