A coordinated or emergent phenomenon where multiple individuals or entities collectively target, harass, attack, or mob a person or group through digital means. Unlike simple disagreement or criticism, a digital gang up involves numbers being used as a weapon—the experience of being swarmed, overwhelmed, and drowned out by a volume of hostile engagement that no individual could withstand. The gang up may be organized (through coordinated raids, dogpiling, brigade tactics) or emergent (when a post goes viral and attracts a mob), but the experience for the target is identical: a flood of notifications, threats, abuse, and noise designed to silence, punish, or destroy. Digital gang ups exploit the asymmetry of networked communication—one target, countless attackers, each individual feeling justified while the collective produces overwhelming harm.
Example: "She posted a mildly controversial opinion and woke to thousands of replies—not debate, but a Digital Gang Up, the collective weight of a mob made possible by the architecture of the platform."
