Pushing Back Against Online Mobs: Taylor Swift and Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway's Response
A recent trend has emerged where individuals are pushing back against online mobs. This tactic has been adopted by Taylor Swift to combat armies of trolls.

The attacks were not deemed as organic reactions but rather a coordinated campaign originating in China and carried out by fake accounts. For more information, click on the provided link.
