&gt; But if a woman has been raped, who’s to tell her she has no right to scream his name from the rooftops?<p>Three little things: Presumption of innocence[1], Separation of powers[2] and Right to a fair trial[3]. The first tells us that every person is innocent until proven guilty, the second mandates that the ones with the power of proving guilty are not the same with the power of arresting or writing the laws, the third says that, to be proven guilty, one has to undergo a fair trial, and that, among the other things, the accusers can&#x27;t be the judges.<p>By allowing public firings and spreadsheets of &quot;guilty people&quot;, we&#x27;re actually allowing bypassing all of these three points. People are accused, trialled and condemned by enraged crowds, without even being able to defend themselves in a legal seat. And if you try to underline this point, you&#x27;re treated as a monster. Good job on restoring mob justice and making it pass as &quot;normal&quot;.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Presumption_of_innocence" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Presumption_of_innocence</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Separation_of_powers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Separation_of_powers</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Right_to_a_fair_trial" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Right_to_a_fair_trial</a>
