| − | '''Mobocracy''' is a synonym for ''ochlocracy'', the rule by a group of [[people]] unrestrained by any meaningful principles. A mobocracy has a tendency to be arbitrary and to engage in [[bully]]ing towards critics or dissenters. Wikis and other online communities tend towards mobocracy if strong measures aren't taken to prevent this. Many conservatives feel that [[Wikipedia]] takes inadequate measures. <ref>Chris Edwards.
