I think it’s very much a matter of unit economics. Court systems have a long history of dealing with false accusations, but still managing to uphold some sort of standards around many sorts of activity (murder and abuse, for instance).
When it comes to false accusations; there could be different ways of checking these to verify them. These are common procedures in courts and other respected situations.
If 100 people all opened an application and posted at a similar time, that would be fairly easy to detect, if the organization had reasonable resources. Hacker News and similar deal with similar situations (though obviously much less dramatic) very often with various kinds of spamming attacks and upvote rings.
There’s obviously always going to be some error rate, as is true for court systems.
I think it’s very possible that the possible efforts that would be feasible for us in the next 1-10 years in this area would be too expensive to be worth it, especially because they might be very difficult to raise money for. However, I would hope that abilities here eventually allow for systems that represent much more promising trade-offs.
