Internet Shaming

Internet Shaming

Internet Shaming is to use social media, blogs and other online media to attack a person or organization. The purpose of the attack is often to embarrass the target publicly, often in the form of retaliation for some behavior.

Internet sharing is an online version of vigilance, in which people take the law into their own hands. As in the material world, attentive people often believe that there is a way of bringing about their work of justice which otherwise would not be served. In other cases, online shamming is used to attack or defame the victim even after someone.

Types of Internet sharing include the publication of sensitive information about docking, any target person or organization. The attacker can assume that the public has the right to information that the goal will be given priority. At other times, the objective is forcibly recovered for financial gain only. Online shaming is another common form of revenge porn, publishing sexually explicit images and videos as a way to humiliate the goal. Such content is often posted by a Ex romantic partner.

Often,  internet sharing exploits the unstable nature of online communication. Because mobile phones are ubiquitous and messages spread widely and quickly through social media. Online vigilance can be very vulnerable to that event very quickly. The clarity of the reaction also means that those who share the message can check the facts and send the matter before giving proper consideration. According to Clinical psychologist John Suler, author of "Psychology of the Digital Age", the extreme nature of online shaking results due to lack of sympathy for online targeting. Suler claims that, often the purpose of the attack is to destroy the goal. Internet has given rise to threats, physical attacks, lost jobs, disruption of families and suicides.

However, internet shading can be a positive change. For example, United Airlines has often targeted internet shading for incidents involving public relations (PR) crisis. In April 2017, security officials removed David Dao from a flight for adjusting an employee of a fellow airline. Other passengers recorded on the video because Dr. Dao was dragged from the airplane after refusing to give him a seat paid by him. The video became viral and the airline has made a lot of fun and condemned. By August 2017, U.A. and other airlines had reduced their rates of overbooking and they offered maximum compensation to travelers to leave their seats.
