ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” by Jon Ronson explores the rise of public shaming in the digital age. Through real-life stories of individuals who became the targets of online outrage, such as Justine Sacco and Jonah Lehrer, Ronson examines the impact of social media on our collective judgment. The book delves into the psychological, societal, and ethical consequences of public shaming, questioning the fairness of "citizen justice" and the long-term effects on those involved. By investigating these shaming cases, Ronson offers a thought-provoking commentary on the complexities of accountability, forgiveness, and the right to privacy.
