It's the new way to bully while still being smug and self-satisfied with yourself.

I watch the same thing unfold over and over, day after day--someone makes an accusation and instantly people jump on the bandwagon, attacking not only the accused but anyone who tries to be reasonable or withhold judgement until they have all the facts. Usually they ride a surge of upvotes and likes while patting themselves on the back for being "good people" while they do it. Of course, much of the time things change when all the facts do emerge, and the tide surges in the other direction. If this happened now and then, that would be one thing, but it happens constantly, which means a lot of people never learn.
