Week 3
I'm editing an article on Online Shaming.
Below is the section I edited. I added the example of Reddit. I added the content because I felt that this section was missing some information on example. The following is what I added (including the citations):
"On February 1, 2017, Reddit, a social news website, has banned two alt-right communities, r/altright and r/alternativeright for doxing and violating Reddit community guidelines."
Doxing
[edit]Doxing involves researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual, often with the intention of harming that person.[1][2][3][4] This can often lead to extortion, coercion, harassment and other forms of abuse. On February 1, 2017, Reddit, a social news website, has banned two alt-right communities, r/altright and r/alternativeright for doxing and violating Reddit community guidelines.[5][6][7]For my next edit, I plan on editing the section "Evan Guttman and the Stolen Sidekick" that part of Online Shaming examples.I plan on editing the section about "Evan Guttman and the Stolen Sidekick" under the examples of Online Shaming next.
