When you get enough people together, it's not enough to rely on the disincentive of individual prosecution to avoid bad actors. At scale, someone will think it's worth the risk or just not think at all and do something harmful. This is why you can't open a bar without bouncers, or have an outdoor concert without on premise security. When you concentrate people together you simultaneously: 1. Increase the number of times you roll the dice with someone choosing to be harmful. 2. Increase the number of people within the blast radius (figurative or sometimes literal) of the bad actor who does. You simply can't escape this fundamental law of human behavior. If you're building a system that aggregates people together—physically or virtually—you have an obligation to understand and deal with this. |
