During the Chinese cultural revolution in the 1960s, anyone could anonymously post the names of "people they hated" as suspected counter-revolutionaries on public bulletin boards. A "fun prank," maybe, except that many of those reported were executed. [1]

This was contemporary with humans traveling into space. We're not out of the woods today—if anything, technology has raised the stakes.
