Digital Pile On

Picture
This relational aggression tactic is when a group, led by a ringleader, bullies an individual in an online social setting such as an online chat forum. Here, the bully sees an opportunity to belittle the target while obtaining “safety in numbers.” The situation escalates when bystanders provide the bully with encouragement and support.
