A Scottish Jewish joke
This is the story of the very first person to be publicly shamed because of something they did online. It鈥檚 1988, the internet exists only in its most nascent form, and a software designer, Brad Templeton, uploads a joke in poor taste onto a message board. How the architects of the emerging internet respond to the joke will create a set of rules that the rest of us have lived under ever since鈥�
