Yes it is.

If anyone's accusing anyone else of lying or doing wrong, yes the onus is on the accuser to present substantiated proof not opinionated presentation.

The anonymity on social media however is really worrying.
Lives can be ruined by it.
By anonymous individuals throwing out accusations with at present, no comeback.

Of course it should be the duty of all social media owners of any setting really.
To set standards of ensuring opinion only, doesn't override production of solid substantiated proof of singular or multiple accusations.

Then again however, look at the gutter actions of the tabloids too.
It's like a pack mentality once someone becomes a target.
As the Duchess of Sussex is to said tabloids.
As well as areas of social media too.
Very sadly.
