Early French Gendarmes earned their bread capturing criminals and charging the populace for the service (as freelancer professionals, not employees of the government).
That model worked for them.
Could it work for Web2.0? Could an online "gendarme" find a way to police all social networks?
This is definitely something users would want, as far as we only filter for really bad spam/trolls/bullies that are hated by everyone (otherwise flames will rise over net neutrality and free speech).
The problem is that the net doesn't have jails. I can think up a few solutions.
This is an idea for the taking, offered as a public service since it doesn't match my taste and criteria.
If you DO take it, please track down my email and tell me so that I could smile over it.
