The social networking site has many users which can compliment people or write hateful comments about anyone they wish. When people comment on your life and make assumptions of you
Who knows who they are speaking to? The internet craze that is twitter is famous all over the world, people from different continents all able to jouge one another while hiding behind their computer screens. Yes, there's a photo and everyone has a different profile and you can set the settings to private friends only - but haven't you ever heard of re-tweeting? Encouraged trolling is one of Twitters limitations; with strangers commenting on your own life who needs a mind of their own?
Some of the things she said was so shocking, but i guess that it proves that you can hide behind a false identity so that you can get away with saying things like she did.
ReplyDeleteIt is frightening how much attention gossip gets, let alone this level of hate-spewing. Sad to have that much negativity to spew. The problem is that it is endless because the little hit of pleasure you might get by feeling better about yourself when you say (or hear) something negative about someone else is a) so temporary and b) if prolongued by getting you more attention, becomes even more addictive so you repeat the behaviour ad infinitum, escalating the hate just to get the same high. The platform for this kind of communication is out there because people forward it/retweet it when they are appalled instead of shutting it down. Just say no to hate and gossip!
