Interesting that Vox is the platform on which this article appears. They are as much a part of the internet justice mob as Facebook or Twitter. Several articles on their front page have clickbait articles and are designed to get people riled up. Look at "It's shockingly easy to exploit legal immigrant workers" and "How Planned Parenthood became Republicans' public enemy no. 1" as examples.
I don't think the internet mob is "out of control". I think it is working as intended. The media has always fabricated stories as distractions or as character assassinations against certain people. The internet mob is the next evolution of that. Cecil the lion is the latest mass distraction.
