Years ago, the life of Tablo, the frontman of one of the pioneering hip hop groups in Korea, was under enormous public scrutiny and pressure, all because of a rumor that he never got a degree from Stanford University as he claimed. Although he really did earn two degrees from Stanford University, Tablo almost got cancelled, in a time when "cancel culture" wasn't even really considered a thing. Now, as we live much of our lives online, his story reads almost like a cautionary tale of what could happen to any one of us if we are targeted by online anonymous harassers.
