Conundrums like this used to make my head spin.
Then I realized that nothing about moving humans online made humans magically more virtuous than they are in meatspace, and the tools we've used to audit and intercept bad-behaving humans in the real world have merit online too.
There's a reason so much motion online in the past two decades has been in the direction of "de-wild-Westing" it.
