You said it!

And let me add this. The social media sites like reddit/twitter/hackernews act as places to 'safely contain' people with such potential.

Because it gives them the feeling of doing something, but its effects does not cross out into the real world. Even if it come down to that, these people can be quickly silenced in the online world, and they wouldn't know what to do, apart from commenting/tweeting..

As someone said, it's humanly to make mistakes, but to really fuck it up, you need computers. Ah the gift of the internet!
