Qnon often becomes a dangerous mob. If they weren't virtual, but were a street mob, the police would intervene, not with quashing of free speech, but with crowd control measures. Perhaps what has to be figured out:, what we are lacking: what is the equivalent of crowd control measures in virtual reality?
Another thing this makes me think about is how some of the activities of the hacktivist group Anonymous pre-saged a lot of this kind of thing. Yeah, they used something that is already classified as a weapon, hacking. And they seemed more rational. But why is hacking the only virtual activity that's considered criminal so far?
