The idea of suing a website might seem abhorrent to advocates of free speech on the internet, but maybe one case shows that it can be justified?
Whitefish Woman's Lawsuit Over 'Daily Stormer' Harassment Proceeding
The Missoulian is reporting [archive] that a Whitefish woman's lawsuit against a Nazi website is going forward.
Montana Public Radio reports that Andrew Anglin, publisher of The Daily Stormer, is being sued by an individual the website targeted because of the mother of Richard Spencer:
The Daily Stormer called for readers to harass her and her family over her dealings with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Northwestern Montana, however, has had some experience in dealing with neo-Nazis in the neighborhood.

As I note [soylentnews.org] elsewhere, yes, those hidden details can matter.
Moving on, "ending up in bed" misses the point. The ACLU often has this problem as well. It's because governments are more willing to violate laws and abuse power against targets that are unpopular, ostracized, or villified, such as violent nutjobs. That's because there is a history of such abuses eventually targeting those who aren't violent nutjobs. Better to stop such things now rather than after you're affected by them as well.
