This is the second I've read about shaming. I wish it can be translated into Burmese. Our online community really needs to read this and Jon Ronson's book.

It has horror stories of online hate and shaming, but also stories of hope, kindness and compassion winning. People are human, we'll all make mistakes. It's how we handle those mistakes or how we handle being shamed online somehow that matters. Online shaming will hurt and those feelings are valid. It doesn't diminish that. Has helpful tips for dealing with it and building a better online world. Builds on So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson. Highly recommend both! The narrator was great.
I don't think this was perfect but where I listened to it it's hard for me to remember my exact issues, but I did have some here and there, but I do still think it's a worthwhile read.

This book doesn't know what it wants to be, and it falls short on everything it tries to be. It's not an exploration of online shame -- it's far too shallow for that -- and it's not a book about combating online shame -- there are books which do this far better and without being Internet 101. A better book to read for the second is [b:The Smart Girl's Guide to Privacy|25644910|The Smart Girl's Guide to Privacy|Violet Blue|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1433187260s/25644910.jpg|45463357]. For the first, I think being on the internet for any amount of time is more insightful than the glossing over a ton of stories without much context, analysis, or insight.
You can safely bypass this one. It wants to be Peggy Orenstein but isn't.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" I decided to request an ARC for this book.
"Shame Nation: The Global Epidemic of Online Hate brings to the forefront this culture of internet trolls, ridiculing and the general hate that is displayed by people online. The book also does a deep dive into Social Media etiquette, highlighting ways to keep a great presence online along with how to deal with trolls.
While I liked the examples in each chapters, particularly cases I was familiar with- The Plane Breakup, The Lady who tweeted about AIDS, the Miss America Teen etc... We got a behind the scene look at how their lives turned out after the whole "shame" incident. Having read "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" they covered majority if these cases, most time the book felt like a re-read.
The book got a little repetitive in some parts, but overall a solid book to read, especially in this digital age.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!
