Do we really want corporations enforcing unconfirmed reports? If the legal system can't handle the situation, why should we expect a private corporation to?
I absolutely want private companies to curate their community of users. This is actively happening, and for some content and jurisdictions it is legally required to happen. If you get a strong signal that someone is a bad actor in your community you should remove them.
However surely you could agree that there is a reasonable line somewhere.
If, over the course of several months, multiple people with seemingly no connection to each other report the same problematic person, then is there ANY reason to not issue a ban?
That leaves, what, asking a private company to do facial recognition scans on all new users? Requiring them to present official government ID ala the recent EU laws?
Honestly I’d prefer a dating app that checks identity and prohibits duplicate accounts
The only reasonable line is - act on the first report (and every single other report), and work closely with the police. But if the victim doesn't want to involve the police then what can you even do?
A cardiologist life is not usually falling apart. so I wonder why this sort of madness would be a thing. Are they thinking nobody would believe the women?
This is clearly worse than false positives. They have a big user database that law enforcement does not.
Why doesn't law enforcement have this data? Presumably these crimes are being reported to the police?
If the crime wasn't worth reporting to the police, I'm not convinced why a private company would have some obligation to act.
If you think the legal process is too slow, presumably the focus should be on fixing that, so that rapists face actual consequences?
Why do you presume that? And even in the best case scenario, it takes years between a report and someone being sent to prison.
That they should share with law enforcement when appropriately requested.
