While the plan's goal of publicly shaming sex offenders is well intentioned, it's important to remember, in this democracy of ours, that Norm Macdonald is a very common name.

MisterYuk Twitposter Twitfeeds
Fediverse is peppered with #cringy, delusional, self-hating twitposting. Some people's feeds read like a suicide letter demanding everyone else to commit suicide with them. Some twitfeeds exude the vibes of an assassin's hit list. Some twitfeeds smell like authoritarian extermination orders. Their toxic feeds should come with a Mister Yuk sticker.
Twitposter feeds run devoid of brotherly love and full of animosity towards things they don't understand. These twitposters seek to blame and punish innocent people for their perceived slights or suffering rather than helping others through their own suffering.
Twitposters try to classify and demonize others instead of viewing others as individual humans with their own individual destinies.
With this collectivist hateview of others, they concoct a delusional view of reality that justifies any oppression or atrocity toward the 'enemy' they have concocted, and often that enemy is the self.

Add to that the fact that some rich people actually do good things and care about their downline. It is impish and reactionary to curse someone merely because they have money.
I know this is different in the tech sector. A lot of self-inflated, brittle, fragile people stand at the top of that heap.
