"The issue of harassment" is about publication, not annotation. Annotation is initially a singular, personal action (it may stay in your browser, or in that book you bought last year). Until you publish it, your evil side notes don't effect anyone and can't therefore be consider "harassment." Once published, however, the story changes. Publication spaces (i.e. annotation social networks such as Genius and Hypothes.is) come with (necessary) community guidelines. One of those could (and usually do) include "un-publishing" and/or moderating annotations that run afoul of those guidelines. The user's right to *annotate* however should not be prohibited, though their ability to *publish* may be curtailed based on the guidelines set by the specific publisher. At the very least, we need to keep the act of "annotating" separate from the act of "publishing." -- GitHub Notification of comment by BigBlueHat Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/204#issuecomment-210493638 using your GitHub account
