But that is just mob justice.

If we subscribe to this approach we accept that 50% of the time the person being shamed will be innocent. Also the level of hate this person will get will be grossly disproportionate to the act she committed.

Essentially this is just a digital stockade where people get to line up and throw rotten fruit at her. As a society we are better than this.
