Download or read book Social Media Victimization written by Jessica Emami and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every week we read more and more stories of someone who commits suicide, gets fired, gets "canceled", abandoned, or worse, because of a conflict or misunderstanding involving social media. Using theories that originated in studies of extremism and terrorism, Jessica Emami analyzes the processes that drive people to punish others using social media. Professor Emami makes a case that "cyberpunishment" is driven by outrage against our personal sense of morality, and a deep desire for our act of punishment to be acknowledged by others. Moreover, she demonstrates that today's social media platforms are by their very structure unable to curb or resist cyberpunishment.
