"First let’s understand the term mob mentality:
Herd mentality describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis. When individuals are affected by mob mentality, they may make different decisions than they would have individually.

The online mob
“Social media changes the very nature of our social interaction,” says Ayyash, offering an explanation for the mob-like behaviour exhibited online when users unite behind a common cause.
Ayyash explains, the Internet is a breeding ground for targeted attacks and hostile behaviour.

Though that change manifests differently in every individual social media problematically alters the larger social phenomenon of mob mentality. The way an online crowd develops is not dissimilar to the way a physical mob would form."
