Only if you ignore all witch hunts outside Salem. That would be incredibly US-centric.
Bertrand Guilladot and Louis Debaraz come to mind.
Anyhow, that completely misses the point - that witch trials were based on a presumption of guilt against which no defense could be made. Much like the way certain media sites attack people.
