Mob Shaming: The Pillory at the Center of the Global Village
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/20/us/mob-shaming-the-pillory-at-the-center-of-the-global-village.html
The advent of social media has raised the volume on shaming as
millions of judgmental types get in on the act via Facebook,
Twitter and their online brethren. All too often, the line
between understandable finger-wagging and unbridled bullying
has been blurred or even erased by cybermobs. The potential
for ugliness is examined in this final offering in the current
series of Retro Report, video documentaries that return to
major news stories of the past and explore how they continue
to resonate.
