‘Digilantism’, is an interactive talk hosted by Tom Sorell, Professor of Politics and Philosophy, and Joshua Kelsall, Research Fellow, from the University of Warwick.

The talk will explore the modern world of online punishment. Online vigilantism is an increasingly frequent phenomenon with individuals targeted for punishment in the form of online exposure and shaming in the form of doxing or trolling. ‘Digilantism’ can even cause offline retaliation against supposed offenders identified by online campaigns.

Professor Sorell and Dr Kelsall will explore this trend, welcoming participation from attendees to delve into the ethical questions ‘digilantism’ raises.
