Because previous mobs were well known for their thoughtfulness and judgement?

Well previously you needed an actual physical mob so you had to get enough people local to the victim outraged enough to be convinced it's worth their time. That's a much higher bar than doxing someone and sending hate mail to everyone around them.

No - that's why it is a mob.
