Twitter Outrage Mob 

Sometimes shortened to TOM, the Twitter Outrage Mob is a large group of people on social media sites (having originated on Twitter, specifically) that attempt to cancel others by use of harassment, bullying, shaming, and/or otherwise silencing those who merely disagree with their own beliefs that they force upon others. They spread falsified information that easily gains traction online and usually results in the individual or company in which they are pressuring to conform to their beliefs. They are the ones who are largely behind Western Cancel Culture.

These people can usually be identified as being blue-haired, white liberal women who recently graduated college with a degree in either the social sciences and/or gender studies because they have no practical skills that can be applied to the real world. However, there have been cases of effeminate men who reside in California who also play an active role in the Twitter Outrage Mob. They reside inside of an echo chamber and so are not used to hearing people with differing viewpoints. They immediately believe that that non-conforming person is a threat, and thus, must be terminated.
