anonymity that allows people to give rise to the senate aggressions teachers
from places like space for where every identity is tied to their real names

anonymity
as it is about these distancing fact computer screen in front of you alarm

also be experiencing crushing online most young people face to face believes
is more stressful and have more emotionally and quote-unquote cyber
bully and focusing just on cyber bullying ignores a whole range of other
dynamics online the young people might find really typical and really
participate
the tragic cases teen suicide really complicated we do know that in number of
these pieces
the young people involved
had asked her how many work supported so rather than telling teenagers they
shouldn't be putting content online i think it's about supporting young people
in their day-to-day life is not just about regulating their behaviors
essentially trolling is about disruption
a terrific temps too
frustrate
misfortune fury eight uh... chosen target
can run the gamut
redirecting someone to unanswered image or video clip for example rick astley
seventy you well
all the way to going after the friends and family of murdered teenagers and
everything in between
in the mid two thousand strolling began to take on the specifics of cultural
connotation or something kinda fun charles and the hotbed was what stands
anymore
something then if i'm trolls claim to be motivated by what's called walls
correction of laugh out loud implies amusement
that they can trolls believe that nothing should be taken seriously if you
take something seriously
thing you deserve it one of the most problematic forms of trolling is

devoted to the recently deceased this is three guys off that stuff
all traveled the north of here over the fifteen year old girl
destroy dot our way in may
and new page because
as here hope for invented the internet anyone that's
s_l_a_ under trolls are implicitly critiquing
e_t_a_ narrative surrounding these stats specifically people who are regarded as
three forests
strangers to the deceased to post condolence messages on the base the page
is a lot of them are helping strolls are targeting those people
his first
interests
tests
patrolling fetal tissue
would set the rules of the game set
fundamentally asymmetrical but that courtesy is not extended to the target
the target does not give us a it is often very exciting and very
and are usually very damaging
played yet also has the potential of opening up dialogue that otherwise it
wouldn't be open up and regardless of what the tro was actually trying to
accomplish it has the ability to make people think
what do these behaviors
in what they say it about the contract which they arise
how does this fit into a larger cultural brown
year has been amazing development for free speech in general this has toppled
government's this is helped elect presidents
but anytime you give anyone the ability to speak there's always the chance that
they could abuse that ability
free speech means something very different online that does offline when
you're talking about speech offline you're usually talking about these
interference with the speech by the divergence but when it comes to just
private censorship was the first amendment provides is just the benefit
of history online service writers to have a lot to learn from supports
struggling with these issues when they set their rules for big dick example of
the innocence of muslims case the video was put up online prompted protests
throughout the arab world
and certainly cannot envy campbell at all they had to decide in the moment
value of the video has a provocation for further discussion without legitimate
danger to life in living that the reaction to that that it will engender
there's this dear fiction that equates free speech with speech without
criticism that he is not only bronx somewhat antithetical to what the first
amendment solid balanced think the most productive solution will always be
making people understand
how their words affect you so solutions on and then we have to recognize that

names online are often the people there speaking anonymously online thing
convicted
who is gay enters in a high school where that revelation would lead to physical
abuse for him you can take the example up a victim of domestic violence you can
take the example of a dissident fighting against foreign government where there
is anyway because the government is that we find them and kill them i don't think
there's anything about the internet returns on two people people
i have seen more about each other whenever you confront that speech you
have to think about
why is that person saying what they're saying the future speech online is
largely going to rest on we decide to govern what goes on the web
i refer to trolls as agents of cultural thank gestion
you can look at what the chills are doing and extrapolate out what larger
trends are going on and so it's not necessarily about trying to fix the
internet
it's not taking a long look at the culture in which we live in in our
values and see how those playhouse intact people's faces like unit in cases
of free speech online who makes the tough decisions right now is resting on
the corporations and while they've been very careful to date there's nothing
structurally that lets them from taking a different approach in future
