Currently reading "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" by @jonronson. It's excellent & necessary & well worth a read.

It was obvious long before Jonah Lehrer's shaming that vigilantism at the behest of an online mob almost always serves *injustice*.
It's not remotely new either. New atheist bloggers, for example, went in for it in a big way before movement atheism destroyed itself.

But, as I said, Ronson's book is excellent - his defence of Justine Sacco, particularly so (& brave, incidentally) - & well worth reading.

@PhilosophyExp Ronson strikes me as being shockingly naive
