This is essentially why civilization has legal systems and courts. Unfortunately, legal systems and courts don't scale to internet (global) scale. You'll be "dead," metaphorically speaking, of an internet mob attack before your lawyer even calls you back.

We drastically need significant reform of our court system. We simply don't have the capacity to address the current demanda on the court system (which is why we need ao many plea deals.) We certainly don't have the slack we need in the system to be able to drastically expand the scope.

  Nah, we just need some real mods on social media. We have them literally everywhere else.

    The very same people that are complaining about cancel culture will without a shred of irony start to complain about moderator censorship. I've touched on this in another comment, in another thread - if we are going to assume that people have the right to say whatever the hell they want, how do you reconcile that with the rights of a mob to pigpile someone for speaking their mind? The short answer is: "You can't." The long answer is: "You can't, because when two groups are in such a conflict, you either explicitly censor one, or implicitly censor the other."

      Please don't make assumptions about what people believe like you are doing here. It limits your ability to engage in any sort of meaningful discussion and encourages more of the pointless partisan bickering that is causing such great harm to our country. You can make the same sort of point without such language. Rather than asserting that "everyone who beleives X also believes Y and that is contradictory", you should assert "believing X and Y together is contradictory".

        You're right, I should have used different language to make this point.
