They Secretly Beg You For Money And Jobs After Insulting You With Their GHS 1 Data – Afua Asantewaa Aduonum Hits Back At Social Media Trolls

Part 2 on how to Deal with Internet Trolls . 👹. 3. Don't feed the trolls. Trolling is one of those rare problems best handled by ignoring it – if you do, it usually goes away. Trolls want your attention and discomfiture; they feed on your impotent rage. If they're trying to be funny, your willingness to rise to the bait provides the punchline. If you don't, there's no joke. The secret to withholding attention is consistency: never respond. That way, the trolls can't even be sure you've read their abuse. 👹. 4. Unmask your troll. Trolls thrive on anonymity, but they're not, in my experience, too careful about guarding it. A little digging will usually turn up something that makes their bile seem beside the point. The information you uncover needn't include names, addresses or photographs – just enough to turn your rage into pity. I, for example, enjoy reading the blogs of people who tell me I can't write. 👹. 5. Remember: it's not allowed. Trolling is unwelcome on most moderated sites (including the Guardian's), bullying is a violation of Facebook policy and Twitter has rules against making threats. Ignore the trolls, but don't just ignore them. Click those Report Abuse buttons. 👹. 6. You don't have to provide a platform. If you host your own website with a forum or comments section, feel free to delete offensive or abusive material. People may tell you this is either a violation of free speech or a cowardly attempt to stifle debate but, generally speaking, these people are trolls. 👹. So basically... Ignore the Trolls & Never Ever Feed the Trolls. 👹. #trolls #internettrolls #socialmediatrolls #socialmedia #dealingwithtrolls #ignorethetrolls #dontfeedthetrolls

Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny.

Karan Johar returns to Instagram after two months on Independence Day.

Following two months, movie producer Karan Johar came back to Instagram with an Independence Day post. Karan had avoided posting on Instagram since the downfall of Bollywood entertainer Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14. Karan took to his Instagram feed and shared a picture of the tricolor and stated, "To our incredible nation….a mother lode of culture, legacy and history…. #happyindependenceday … JAI HIND." Karan has confined the remark area on his posts. For the ignorant, Karan Johar was forced to bear trolling, loathe messages and misuses post the downfall of Sushant Singh Rajput. Devotees of the late entertainer have been focusing on Karan Johar for supposedly advancing nepotism in the entertainment world and sidelining outcasts. A few other star kids including Alia Bhatt have likewise been confronting on the web detest from online life trolls. On the day Sushant died, Karan imparted an image of the two to a note communicating lament. "I reprimand myself for not being in contact with you for the past year….. I have felt now and again like you may have required individuals to share your life with…but by one way or another I never followed up on that feeling…will never commit that error again…we live in fiery and loud yet at the same time disconnected occasions …a few of us capitulate to these quiets and go within…we need to make connections as well as continually support them….Sushants Read the full article

Stop the Trolls

One in three Australians say that they have been the victim of trolling online. Read on to find out about the introduction of the eSafety commissioner by the Australian government in response to trolls. 

Trolling refers to the action of posting malicious comments online exclusively to create chaos or get an emotional reaction out of a particular individual or group. Whilst they are majorically males who are heavy internet users and like to demonstrate other antisocial or sadistic behaviour online. Trolling occurs in the form of online harassment, cyber hate or general abusive behaviour. Danah Boyd (2013) says that social media has not radically altered the dynamics of bullying, but it has made these dynamics more visable which lends to the idea that a regulator or a governmental body is needed to make social media a safer space; especially for children and women are more likely to be targets of trolling.

In 2014, Peter Fletcher, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Communications, announced the appointment of Alastair MacGibbon, former AFP agent and eBay head of trust and safety, as its first Children’s e-Safety Commissioner. The Australian government believes a national leadership role, which has been established to effectively deal with complains and which has been backed by legislation, would get harmful cyberbullying material down fast from large social media services.  

The eSafety Commissioner has since grown to incorporate a women’s commissioner; with a mission to empower women to take control online. This shows that the Australian government is rightly acting against trolls and making society feel better and safer. However, the role of the eSafety Commissioner raises questions surrounding the responsibilities of existing social media in dealing with trolling; either they just don’t care or they’re not trying hard enough to tackle trolling. The eSafety Commissioner also acts as a regulator against trolls, but does that take away from a citizen’s right to freedom of speech in that their content may be removed for not sharing the same opinion and voicing this in what is interpreted as an aggressive way.

Week 7 - Trolling

A heavy downside of social media is that it allows its users to remain almost completely anonymous. This can be a HUGE issue, especially for younger users, as some people create social media accounts for the sole use of trolling. According to the Oxford Dictionary (2017), a troll is “a person who makes a deliberately offensive or provocative online post”. Often, trolls are fairly harmless. They may target a large internet personality who has hundreds of thousands of comments, and therefore are unlike to see their post, however, trolling can sometimes be extremely worrying. Sometimes trolls can target one person, on multiple accounts posting rude or explicit comments about them. Selkie (2015) has statistics showing that cyber bullying (which is a broader term for trolling) has been experienced by 40% of internet users. This is especially harmful to young users, who may not understand what trolling is. It can result in the receiver harming themselves in many ways, for example developing an eating disorder or in some cases suicide. 

An example that would come to many peoples minds when discussing social media trolling, cyber bullying and the effects it has on a person (especially a young person) would be Amanda Todd, as pictured above. Amanda Todd’s story went ‘viral’, including a video she posted on Youtube prior to her suicide. This 15 year old girl was bullied and trolled extensively on social media and pushed so far to the edge that she cut herself, drank bleach and killed herself. 

I think this case study alone shows how important it is to prevent social media trolls, as well as punishing those. Social media users should be informed of how to spot trolls prior to joining a site, as well as taught what can happen to social media trolls, as there are laws in place for them currently. A possible solution is to make a troll’s post invisible to the rest of the community (Oxford Dictionary 2017), however this cannot prevent the user from initially seeing it. Although it is hard to draw a line between simple banter and trolling sometimes, there should still be effort put in to try and find and stop as many trolls as possible, especially the most harmful ones. I think there should also be MUCH stricter legislation against social media trolls.

Just got my first negative review from a social media troll. Oh well! I guess he wasn't happy with the services he received from a fellow realtor. Maybe he's stuck with renting for the rest of his life.
