Networked harassment

I WAS introduced to the term "networked harassment" while reading a New York Times article published on September 17 on the threats to the legally in place Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, by the MAGA crowd as started and continued by the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates. The article also referred to an article published in Sage Journals (available online) on June 3, 2021 by Alice E. Marwick, titled "Morally motivated networked harassment as normative reinforcement." I found it worth reading and learned a lot. Let me quote part of the introduction.

"Elise is an Asian American musician in her twenties, active on Twitter. In the spring of 2019, many people in Elise's Twitter network posted tweets criticizing a White-owned Chinese restaurant that promoted itself as a 'clean' alternative to 'unhealthy' Chinese food. Elise added to the criticism, posting a Twitter thread that discussed racist stereotypes and the history of Chinese American food. Her tweets went viral. She received hundreds of attacks over a period of days, including angry tweets, comments on her blogs and YouTube videos, and threatening emails. Most of the harassing tweets framed Elise as a racist. For example, one tweet read, 'Being a racist for the sake of being a racist is disgusting. These people are literally just trying to earn a living, and you are single-handedly trying to put them out of business, and for what. For what does this gain you? People eat better food; you get nothing in return.'"
