Actually it's this dude who created a super encrypted e-mail service which ended up being used by Ed Snowden. He ran a worldwide criminal organization and literally ordered former Navy Seals to assassinate people over e-mails:

Holding clear evidence that they committed a crime online over them maybe. Like if someone catfished pretending they were a kid or something.
Almost nothing, since virtually nothing you can do online is equivalent to literally killing them. I guess threatening to SWAT them if you actually can is closest, followed by more metaphorical "your life is over" stuff, kinda like the nude selfies thing (though for most people that's just really really embarrassing and probably doesn't actually preclude them from living a mostly normal life after).
I've often wondered: what's the digital equivalent of holding a gun to someone's head? Threatening to delete an account? Releasing nudie selfies?
dont tell me what to do yods
Got 'em.
Yoda's tip
A well-intended one, though in general it's just scraping the tip of the iceberg.

Now can we get a review of how to help write reviews? Or would that be redundant? 
Here we go: Help Writing Reviews.
I think there's a thread about all this, too, lemme see if I can find it.
Some of our earliest guidelines for which reviews to tag and not, apart from really basic things like length, were about whether a significant portion of the review was just a plot synopsis, as well. Like you said, people can get that anywhere. Nobody's reading these having no idea what the film's about, and they can find out pretty easily if they want (especially since now we link them to a page with exactly that on it, anyway).
