The presumption of innocence is for courts of law.

The court of public opinion has no such rules.

If we, the people, see a credible accusation against someone who seems like the type of person who might be guilty of it, we are free to call it like we see it.

Naturally, this can lead to problems: after all, who is "credible" and who "seems like they might be guilty" can be (and very much have been) subject to a lot of bigotry. This is why we have the rules we do in courts of law. But anyone trying to enforce actual legal court rules on public online discussions generally just ends up looking like a jerk.
