Online outrage, often associated with outrage culture and online shaming, is a widespread phenomenon in the digital age characterized by collective, intense negative reactions and public humiliation on social media platforms. It is frequently driven by algorithms that reward high-engagement emotions like anger, and it manifests in behaviors such as call-outs, doxing, and cancel culture. The trend has sparked significant debate regarding internet privacy, media ethics, and the psychological impacts of digital vigilantism.
