It's another win for the zeitgeist's fluid hierarchical power model: someone defects; a complaint campaign is spun up w/ zero friction; an "investigation" (cost-benefit analysis) occurs; the social cap of the complainant network dominates. Vagaries, not rules, serve this process.https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1124221245065576456 …

The important idea here is that concrete, legible bright-line rules reduce the power of the complainant networks, which will defend themselves by miring the platforms in endless debates over whether the rules "go far enough."

Importantly, the complainant networks have less power under *any* coherent, legible rule system, so it's not actually in their interest to offer one of their own. It's just fine to have a distributed web of influencers pitching diff versions of a rule set & refusing to compromise
