The author elaborates on the nature of the cyber world and its many pitfalls
#Trolls, #Trolling are the most popular hashtags in cyberspace today. Let’s understand what Trolling is, who these trolls are, and what it does to the one trolled.
“Trolling is an act to make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post/tweet with the aim of upsetting someone or creating unrest in an online group or community by posting off topic messages.”
Users/individuals who love to add fuel to fire or rather fire the fuel are the ones who are likely to become Internet trolls. Internet/cyberspace gives them the perfect ground to get away with the menace they create or the harm they do and also encourages such acts by providing the attention & audience for these acts.
These traits of trolls have been associated to people who have narcissist or psychopath & sadist tendencies. It is your suffering that brings them pleasure. It is the power of hurting someone that drives them.
Is making friends his fault? Or is trusting friends his fault? His laptop getting hacked is his fault? He is being bullied & threatened and yet he feels he is not a victim of cybercrime as it’s all in virtual space.
