Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat ("Proof lies on him who asserts, not on him who denies") is a presumption of innocence with roots in second century Rome.

After centuries of struggle, this outrage has been superseded by fediverse block lists.

No burden of proof from the accuser, no way off the block lists.
