The concerning issue regarding online trolling is how there's no reliable way to regulate it, and as the number of internet users continue to increase, the issue will only grow larger. Interacting with other users from around the world has been one of the biggest pros and cons of the internet. On one hand, it allows people to connect from all corners of the world and to educate, learn, and share culture. On the other hand, it provides a platform for people to act maliciously under the cloak of anonymity. Being able to connect a voice or text to a face is enough for people to act in a civil and polite manner. Although many people often forget about the person on the other side of the screen and speak insensitively and offensively. I'm not really sure what we can do about online trolling besides hoping people don't forget about their humanity once they get on the internet. What are your thoughts?

Your claims about my trolling are false; in fact, the situation is the complete opposite- you are the one that plays these songs while I sit and listen patiently for the song to end. Although I disagree about our situation and you are a brother to me, I agree that people forget to recognize that there are real people on the other side of the screens. People's opinions may be hurtful/controversial and cause a variety of emotional reaction from other Internet users. People should make an effort to think before they post in an act to prevent these situations.

I agree as more people use the internet every day the problem will only increase and there will only be bigger and worst stories that come from this. -Thomas Gist

ReplyDeleteHi Peter! I agree, that as time progresses, the amount of internet trollers will increase, and that even more negativity will be spread on the internet. I guess the most we can do as of right now, is ignore, block, or report these trolls so that their words won't have any affect on us. Overall, there are definitely ways to prevent these trolls from their online bullying, but to eliminate them completely from the internet would be very difficult. So in that case, I think it's best to just stay positive and to spread good energy on the internet.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree. The amount of trolling keeps increasing and it is not stopping. We need to stay committed to ourselves and just keep a positive mindset. We need to do our part! We need to keep spreading positivity and love wherever we go.
