people wanting to talk to other people? Yes, that's the great benefit of social media. in the 2000's this was kids using cellphone minutes to chat around on flip phones. in the 90's it was some early online game chats. in the 80's it was kids stuck at an arcade.

Not an easy feat (the bully trope goes back millenia), but this stopgap of just holding the courier accountable doesnt seem to solve anything,
