One major propagator of public shaming is of course various internet sites from gawker to buzzfeed to Jezebel. The last of which posted this magnificantly tone deaf response to the NYT article.

It's at least gratifying to notice that the clear majority of commentators are pretty clearly against Jezebels line of thinking. So I guess the article has got some people thinking, at least for now.
How ever there are so many sites that pretty much make their living out of clickbaiting on Facebook, and their chosen method is all too often instigating hate on various individuals and outgroups.
