Because it is more dangerous. When the internet was treated as just images on a screen that one could turn off, it wasn't taken seriously and people weren't afraid to put up stuff on textfiles.

To give an example, at a meetup hosted by a large game corp, some college children presented a project aimed at logging the speaking time of business-meeting participants based on superficial details (primarily sex, race), with the goal of equalizing the amount of speaking time based on such. The fact that my objection to such will be perceived as sexism/racism is my other objection.
