Relying on vigilantism as a system runs the risk of incorrectly, assessing a person’s wrongdoings, which may be disproportionately amplified by outrage or disregarded if the person is popular, and therefore runs the risk of not being able to provide justice at all.
Also, legalizing DDOS would simply enable protection racket type schemes (Mirai/Protraf Solutions) and affect small businesses without the ability to defend against them.
- jongjong 3y agoI agree that there would be new issues with such a system but I think it would be fairer and lead to more decentralization overall. I think vigilantism would better allow human nature to shine through. E.g. you can talk and reason with an extortionist directly but you cannot do that with a corporation or other large organization.
