Respect your gut: block and report the offender
This article alone is evidence that social media--even today, is still considered a place where bullying and toxic behavior happens everyday. Internet trolls truly still exist in our current day and age, they just continue to evolve and change.
Social Media Today
I feel as though today in our current social media age, we are still having constant debates surrounding freedom of speech and how far is too far amongst voicing one's opinions and beliefs. Especially on social media, more often than may notice a post on any platform that has essentially "gone viral" with lots of engagements simply because all of the users are making fun of another person or outright shaming them publicly. Though one could argue that the opinion is posted onto a public forum for others to see, does not lessen the amount of times that many people will still take to social media's "anonymous" factor and still harass and attack a person. It often makes me wonder how far is deemed too far onto these platforms-- and when will enough be enough? Will someone come along and hit the reset button before a line is crossed? Or will we see in our lifetime the limitations on social media? Perhaps even AI?
Sharing this content in correlation to a key takeaway from this week's modules surrounding trolls and how they behave, as well as their personalities behind the screen. What stood out to me the most from it was how ultimately the journey people will take through social media and online communities and really run with it, how their minds begin to believe the things that once seemed outlandish-- yet they begin to deem true in their own minds. Interesting!
In correlation to this week's readings, I feel this is a perfect depiction of one of the key take-aways I got in relation to trolls on the internet. Many people, especially in our current social media age, are often times pouring so much of their own time into being an internet troll, I fear that is a clear indicator of having made "it."
"When sites are overrun by trolls, they drown out the voices of women, ethnic and religious minorities, gays--anyone who might feel vulnerable." -TIME
