A scandal is a social phenomenon characterized by strong reactions of outrage, anger, or surprise in response to accusations or rumors of transgressions against social norms. These reactions can have negative effects on the status and credibility of individuals or organizations involved, and often involve breaches of moral norms or legal requirements. Scandals can be political, sexual, moral, literary, or artistic, and may be factual or false. The rise of mass media has increased the visibility and spread of scandals, with platforms like [[twitter-com|Twitter]] and [[facebook-com|Facebook]] facilitating the rapid dissemination of information.
