Cyber Mobs, Disinformation, and Death Videos (cw: violence)

Citation: Danielle K Citron, “Cyber Mobs, Disinformation, and Death Videos: The Internet As It Is (And As It Should Be)”, Book Review of *Sabrina* by Nick Drnaso, (2019) 118 Mich LR, online: https://scholarship.law.bu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1645&context=faculty_scholarship

Danielle Citron (https://www.daniellecitron.com/, https://twitter.com/daniellecitron) reviews this graphic novel and relates its themes to her research on the psychology of virality, online communication, and conspiracy theories. She describes the harms suffered by victims of online mobs, the incentives for social-media platforms, and potential legal remedies (focused on s. 230 of the US Communications Decency Act of 1996).

The book itself, *Sabrina*, was a quick and interesting read with a nice and simple art style. But, I wonder about the choice to convey the experience from the viewpoint of someone who I think of as an atypical victim.
