Online anonymity can be very hurtful to the victims of trolls, but in Levent Sapci’s article, The Pros of Being Anonymous Online, talks about the pros and benefits to staying anonymous online. One of these benefits, the most known, is freedom of speech. Everyone has the right to say what they want. Is it expressed in the Constitution in the 1st amendment. Sapci asserts, “users are able to speak their minds using various opinion-sharing platforms like social media sites” (Spaci 2). Another benefit Spaci talks about is personal security. Spaci says if users of the web stay anonymous, they don’t have to worry about their identity being stolen or snatched. These are just some benefits of online anonymity.
In my opinion, I feel like the benefits Spaci talks about are only for people who what to use online anonymity for good purposes, which is really not our society now. Many people stay anonymous to troll and get away with it. It’s hard to get rid of these trolls. They are unstoppable and they are hungry for the response they get from their victims. I feel like no matter what we to to stop trolls, they’ll keep coming back for more. Its sad knowing this won’t stop but this is society. The best thing to to is just ignore them, don’t show them you are affected. They crave for the distress and the pain of the people they are hurting. Trolling must stop no matter what!!!!
