The document discusses several laws and effects that can occur online and provides recommendations for managing social intranets based on these phenomena. It cautions against overly controlling discussions or trying to hide information as this can backfire and spark more interest in the topic. It suggests monitoring arguments for escalation and steering conversations if needed. Transparency around community guidelines and consequences for violating rules is important to promote positive discussions and curb bad behavior when anonymity is involved. The overall message is not to censor topics but address them openly and intervene appropriately to guide discussions in a constructive direction.
