This talk will consider how Internet companies respond to rule violations by their users. Typically, the responses are viewed as binary: remove the content or keep it; terminate the user's account or not. However, there are a wide range of responses in between those binary options. The talk will identify a wide range of intermediate options and explore some design principles for choosing appropriate responses to rule violations. These design principles should be useful both to Internet companies and those who regulate them.
