So apparently the hysteria has now reached a level that a few anonymous people on twitter can make unsubstantiated claims and it ruins a bands career.
Given the insane amount of fake accounts, trolls, russians etc, it is crazy to think that all you'd have to do is set up a few fake social media accounts, make some accusations anonymously and just like that you can ruin someone's life. And without ever leaving your keyboard. Just say some stuff online and let the hysteria take over and once that ball gets rolling, it ain't stopping.
Quote:
Besieged pop-rockers Hedley faced a barrage of more bad news Friday as they were dropped by their management team, abandoned by other musicians opening for them on their cross-Canada tour and had their music blacklisted by the CBC and more than 100 Bell Media radio stations.
The whirlwind of developments came a day after dozens of Corus Radio stations also stripped Hedley's hit songs from the air in response to sexual misconduct allegations, which had been circulated by anonymous social media users who detailed encounters with young fans.
