Viral shaming is the new public stoning, but instead of a crowd of 20 to 50 killing you, you have 10,000 plus denouncing you. You live but lose your job or business and any prospect to earn a living.
Its analogous to modern international relations. It used to be, bomb or attack them. Now its, sanction them, starve them of the resources to live.
I'm not defending this guy or the taxi guy, but its quite a societal shift.
