Ah, the old "We just need to change human behaviour" solution. Yeah, that would definitely work if it worked.

Stopping trolling is the same. People will always troll. If there’s a text input on a site, it will get trolled.

When's the last time you saw someone smoking a cigarette?

10 minutes ago? I get your point though, smoking has gone down. Would you be open to raising taxes on trolling?

No one needs to change anything. The internet existed for years without this being an issue.
If you encounter someone on the internet who is annoying you, most platforms give you the option to block them. You do that, then move on with your life. It's not hard.

That is an incredibly naive view of harassment in an era of doxing, swatting and revenge porn.
