晒し

Japanese net slang built on the verb 晒す ("to expose to view"). Dictionary-style sources describe it as posting personal information such as address, phone number or face photos without consent to attack the person, a form of indirect online bullying, often driven by a sense of vigilante punishment. One source ties the term to the phrase "post the dirt" (晒しを落とす). Japanese legal-advice sites treat it as potential privacy infringement and tort liability. 2channel threads are cited as a place where it occurred; no first-use date was found.
