This isnt libertarian/ancap thinking.

The whole premise is mob centered, Statist enforced litigation, and an attempt at humor calling for violence.

Build tools that allow individuals to access information updated by others, regarding scams. Expand muting, and blocking tools.

Education, individual empowerment. Stop trying to stop the scammers, start trying to empower the people, removing the target.

What is supposed to deter scammers from operating with impunity if no one can punish them?

Unfortunately it seems there will always be incentives for people to scam, some may need to scam out of necessity. Punishment is only one tool in the belt and it doesn’t have much efficacy, or why would we be talking about it? An it especially has little effect on those that are desperate.

Like others have alluded to, the scammees need tools and education to defend themselves. At the same time scammers need a barrier to entry and punishment if caught?
