Trolling and its effects.

The problem of trolling, which is common on social media, affects people and online communities in ways that go beyond simple irritation. This kind of behavior, which is typified by offensive comments meant to elicit a response, grows in the virtual world of anonymity. Its repercussions include the disturbance of constructive dialogue and negative impacts on mental health. Platforms struggle to control trolling while upholding the right to free speech. However, there is hope for lessening its effects thanks to programs that encourage empathy and digital literacy as well as developments in AI-driven moderation. We can negotiate the challenges of social media and work toward a more inclusive digital landscape by encouraging social media cultures of respect and appropriate online activity.

Trolling on Social Media

One of the topics from this week that intrigued me the most was Trolling on social media. We've all heard of trolling online if you've ever been on social media. Learning that trolls can be anyone regardless of age, race, gender or class is so crazy. The idea of trolls is upsetting as it is somebody who is provoking somebody's negative reaction and I do not like that. Watching the videos and reading the articles from this week's learning materials was rough. The panel of women talking about their experiences on social media was very disheartening. As a woman myself who is also a journalist, I can definitely relate to these women. Anyone on social media can be a troll because as long as they are behind a screen, they feel safe. Social media has created an environment where people can really just say whatever they want but they should try to be kind.

Intersectionality

Based on what I learned about intersectionality this week, here is my take on intersectionality. POC men and White women share the same similarities and benefit from the system. If you take a step back you can see how both POC men and white women react to when POC women talk about their troubles. For example when a black women is to voice her struggles which issues they face with black men or experiences with white women, the response from those sides are gaslighting and victimization. They in return make the the problem about themselves when it was not in the first place. The advocacy for black women is completely conditional. One can be oppressed yet still be in the position to oppress other people. This boils down to how white women are oppressed by the patriarchal system yet benefit from a racial standpoint. While POC can be oppressed racially and can still benefit from the patriarchal system.

Social Media is Toxic

Everyday there is something new online that is happening that is not okay. First we have women being looked at sexually and being harassed then we have people of color being harassed online as well. Everything has been dragged into the media like politics, and that is a huge part of the media today, everything is political. Someone always has something to say about another when sitting behind a screen and it will never go away. There will always be destruction in the media and trolls who will continue to be there. Celebrities consistently are facing backlash and hate from people but that is what comes with being known sadly, you will always have haters. What makes it worse though is even people who are not known in the world receive really bad hate. Even celebrities have finally started clapping back but even they cannot spread awareness because it is uncontrollable, it is up to one another to stop the hate and make social media a fun place not a toxic one.

It’s up to all of us — Black, white, everyone — no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out.

At the same time, the public as a whole expresses mixed views about the potential broader impact these sites might be having on political discourse and the nature of political activism. Some 64% of Americans feel that the statement “social media help give a voice to underrepresented groups” describes these sites very or somewhat well. But a larger share say social networking sites distract people from issues that are truly important (77% feel this way), and 71% agree with the assertion that “social media makes people believe they’re making a difference when they really aren’t.”
