Would a "tax on bad decisions made by company & company's tools" be appropriate in the 21st century? I don't think you can sue an algorithm these days, but having the legal step to say that "whatever a company's tool decides, the company has also (legally) decided" would help solve many of these problems. You'd have to run these by legal before shipping.

The problem isn’t necessarily this. ML based moderation is basically required at this scale. The problem is that the appeals processes don’t work, and the companies do nothing to fix it; they always treat the computer as infallible.
