How to ruin your life in one tweet
In December 2013, Justine, a senior publicist at IAC, made a terrible joke on Twitter: "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get aids. Just kidding. I'm white!" The internet gleefully tore Sacco apart, but British author Jon Ronson had a different take. "There was a brutality to that which I didn't think we were capable of," he says.
[Justice] "Sacco's story is at the heart of So You've Been Publicly shamed, Ronson's new book. It dives into the culture of public shaming. Which goes back to the puritans and beyond but has exploded online. Ronson's examples of ruined lives range from ex-New Yorker writer Jonah Lehrer to Lindsey Stone, a charity worker who lost her job after a photo of her flipping the bird at Arlington National Cemetery went viral. "The democratization of justice on the social media has turned horrific," says Ronson. Who also wrote The Men Who Stare at Goats. He hopes his book will break the cycle: "I want to be in a world where people aren't defined by the worst thing they did." - By Jason Newman Rolling Stone April 9, 2015 [Issue 1232] Page, 19 Rollingstone.com/Books
