You dont need to neutralize all. Just enough.

Our system of jury by peers seems to work incredibly well. There is no reason why big tech cant implement a big system at scale to rely on users to police itself, except of course they would lose control themselves.

What is malicious/spam/libel/problem du jour?

Like Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said about obscene:

"I know it when I see it."

A jury is capped at 12 plus some alternates. A script kiddie can spin up hundreds or thousands of "users" overnight and quickly the spammers/bad actors ARE the police.

Web3 and crypto already exist and HN overwhelmingly hates them. This is like crocodile tears.
