In a way you're totally right. Maybe the "power to the people" attitude of the Internet was never apt, maybe it's just my perception of it, but gradually over the 15 years I've been on the internet, it seems tech has been incrementally moving more and more towards proving an old lesson: it's all about who you know.
The funniest part is another response to your comment, defending this simply because it's the status quo. Of course it's technically/legally possible, the status quo is after all a self-reenforcing system.
Due process is where I disagree. It would inevitability be too heavy handed, too much of a kangaroo court or possibly both. The root cause is the attitudes of the people perpetuating it, or those rationalizing them to others.
