Abstract: -- Excerpt: Online blacklists of advocates for Palestine have existed for more than 15 years... but Canary Mission, born in an era of ubiquitous social media use, is of a different breed. It targets students, rather than well-known professors, and it often appears as the first Google result for a search of a student’s name. It has also leveraged the power of social media, tweeting its dossiers and giving Israel’s most vociferous online warriors a list of targets to harass. Subject Headings |
