   "Social death" is a common thing on Chinese social media apparently, shame-based virtue

      I assume it runs deeper, but that doesn’t feel all that foreign compared to the US, does it?

         I don't know, I think it does, US social media is rather shameless, there's certainly no national social credit score or anything

            Fair enough, but are we talking credit score or shaming by other users/citizen? Shaming and bullying people who are perceived as having done something wrong on-line is not unheard of in ‘the west’. I suppose it concerns famous people far more than your ordinary social circles, though.
