A form of digitallighting where the gaslighting is performed not directly by the original antagonist but by proxies—friends, followers, or automated bots—who amplify the disinformation, harassment, and reality‑
distortion. The original instigator maintains
plausible deniability (“I didn’t say that; my followers just care”), while the proxy network executes the attack. Proxy digitallighting makes it difficult for targets to identify their abuser and
impossible to escape the coordinated assault.
