Abstract: Victimization, e-shaming and #MeToo. An investigation into the role of e-shaming during #MeToo in the Netherlands In October 2017, #MeToo went viral on social media. #MeToo has been found to have positive as well as negative effects. One negative effect is the ethical problem of e-shaming. This article investigates through a mixed-method approach what the extent and perception is on e-shaming during #MeToo in the Netherlands. Results show that e-shaming is very rare and that Dutch society has little interest in the topic and will not participate in e-shaming. This implies that e-shaming in the Netherlands is still problematic on an ethical level, but the extent and consequences of e-shaming are very limited.
