A “Kangaroo Court” on the internet refers to a situation where a form of online judgement or trial occurs in a biased or unfair manner. It suggests that the proceedings lack proper rules, fairness, or impartiality, often resulting in a predetermined outcome.
Examples:
1. In an online gaming community, if a group of players falsely accuses a particular player of cheating and then carries out a vote to ban them without any solid evidence or fair investigation, it can be described as a Kangaroo Court.
2. On social media platforms, if a user becomes the target of a mass public shaming campaign based on rumors or misinformation, and is subsequently harassed or bullied without any opportunity to present their side of the story, it can be considered a Kangaroo Court situation.
