> It’s for (often implicit) communities to decide; communities whose members share a certain set of norms.

This sounds great in theory - where "community" means the small town that you live in. In practice, "community" often means "terminally online social media users", and many of the members of this "community" have little interest in looking for context, facts, or the truth and are instead invested in pushing their worldview or just getting a rage boner.

Edit: A great example of this in action was the "bike Karen" incident: https://archive.is/j0Yr8

How much of the online "community" was all-in on the narrative that she was trying to take the teens' bike until more information came to light?
