How it's used
Originally a military term for chasing and striking a retreating enemy, this has evolved into a common internet slang term. It now frequently describes the act of relentlessly criticizing or exposing someone online, often in a coordinated or aggressive manner. It carries a sense of persistence and hostility that goes beyond simple disagreement.
Examples
Netizens have started to relentlessly attack that celebrity.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simple chasing or following, such as 追蹤, which is neutral. 追擊 implies a hostile intent to damage someone's reputation or cause them trouble.
