Arresting CEOs seems to be an effective way to induce desirable behaviour from companies.

Let's keep a note of this for later.

Good move. Keeps the authoritarians at bay. Let's users police themselves while maintaining the integrity of the platform.

This allows crime stopper groups to infiltrate and more easily report illegal communities.
