We propose Kuran’s Razor: when the cost of signaling truth exceeds the epistemic value of the signal, silence becomes rational. In this light, tools like Community Notes are not just content correctives, but early-stage infrastructural interventions—protocols that shift the incentive structure of discourse itself. By examining the interplay between swarms (reactive publics) and formations (durable protocol layers), we argue that meaningful speech in a networked society will require more than courage—it will require architectural reform.

Speech, we suggest, is no longer a moral act alone. It is a design problem.
