The vast majority of anti-social behavior I've witnessed in my life has been on so-called social media.

You think it's linked to the fact physical confrontation is removed from the equation?
Maybe a little bit. I think it's mostly because anti-social behavior online is often rewarded (e.g., through increased engagement), whereas offline it's often punished (e.g., through decreased engagement as people avoid assholes).
Online you don't have to 'read the room' there is just a continuous assumption you are around "your people". A lot more inner thoughts (half baked ideas) are willing to be written from afar rather than spoken in person. A very different bar.
