Donald Trump has threatened to shut down NBC and other American networks, saying that they peddle fake news.
"With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet.
Mr Trump's tweet came in response to a story written by NBC, which said that Mr Trump had sought to increase America's nuclear arsenal tenfold after taking a look at a briefing slide that showed stead reduction of the US nuclear arsenal since the 1960s. The story cited three officials who were reportedly in the room when Mr Trump made the comments.

You've already been answered: If you haven't agreed to an particular contract, then you are operating outside of the well defined bounds of a contract; the consequences for your actions are therefore also ill-defined—murder someone, and see what happens to you...
Of course, a sophisticated framework of contracts will naturally spell out the consequences for such behavior in most cases, so you'll be able to guess what people will do. For instance, vigilante justice may not be allowed within a certain community, so you can expect the response to be fairly official.
The shape of society will be found through the process of evolution by variation and selection.

So history up to now was what then? NOT an evolving society? mmhmmm
You do realize you are describing laws right? "Oh you entered our local domain and a certain group of contract agreements are inherently agreed to upon your entering." Yeah, sounds like a completely new process to me!
Sorry but yer a total jackass. Oh wait, I'm not sorry. I mean "you're welcome".

Your "law" is a dictate, not a contract or collection of contracts.
They are superficially similar, but are actually quite different.
You're correct about one thing though: Society is already not far from what has been described; you already exist under a different "law" than I do, because you have contractual obligations in your life that are different from mine.
Keep thinking. You'll get it, eventually.
