banwagon

Derived from the idiom bandwagon, the word describes a deplorable behavior on the internet where online news platforms ban users from posting comments on their Facebook page.

While these platforms purportedly support freedom of speech, they have also maintained their right to ban users from their technology platforms.

This claim is disingenuous as the technology platform underpins the delivery of online content and is therefore inseparable from the exercise of free speech, particularly in the social media space.

It now appears that more people are getting onto the banwagon.

Bandwagon Fan

Anyone who claims they are a "fan" of a particular sports team, even though they had no prior support for/interest in the team until that team started winning. These types of fans only show playoff interest, have probably never watched a regular season game, don't own any type of team merchandise, nor would they buy any.

Rousslan became a bandwagon fan only after Manchester City won the league in 2012.
