Social media is a double-edged sword. It’s a great way to get news out fast to a huge audience. And when good news goes viral, the reach can be out of this world. But when bad news spreads on social media the results can be disastrous.

Online mobs rally at the slightest offense. People are quick to err on the side of outrage and cancel someone for “offenses” that are minor and irrelevant. Unfortunately, online mobs tend to mobilize quickly and appear out of nowhere, causing far-reaching damage often before the target is aware they are in the crosshairs.

A public humiliation and shaming can be difficult to handle. With all eyes on you, the pressure and guilt will be intense for you to respond quickly, correctly, and decisively.
