I don't see a downside to activists making their accounts private.
It might make people who are quick to anger understand what public and private mean, and that you can't act like an asshole to everyone around you when your feelings get hurt, and expect not to be called on it.
It also might start to chisel a tiny dent in activists bubble and make them realize that a public persona is how they're known, and if they want people to think they're relatively normal, they'll have to act that way, or go private so they can still be immature babies.
But I don't expect either of these things to take root for a good few years, if at all.
