This is one of the things that bugs me about the design of a lot of the internet. Far too much that ultimately comes down to one single person, with zero accountability process. … I don’t know what the answer is there because it’s hard to have accountability and a stable structure in disjointed borderline anonymous environments, but it has long bothered me.
Part of the answer is m-of-n cryptography (and other crypto), but the tools around it are barely usable for technically inclined people, much less those that aren’t. It’s a common enough story, unfortunately. Theoretically, the tech is all there to ameliorate these problems. Practically, only people with encyclopedic knowledge of esoteric tooling have access. And typically, there aren’t enough of those people to go around.
