Negative Sides of Online Anonymity

Online anonymity has many negative sides, but there are also positives, one being that it makes self expression a lot more comfortable.  Being able to express yourself is an important right that every human should have.  The internet is especially a great place to express your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.  Having your voice by many people at once, sharing what you have to say behind a screen creates more power in your voice.  Rather than having people comment or respond because of who you are or how you look is so beneficial when wanting to receive honest opinions.  A negative in online anonymity would be the abusive language people use when they post whatever they want to say.  Conflicts are caused on the internet and peoples feelings aren't taken into consideration.  The language posted would be harsh or topics that shouldn't be talked about are mentioned to the public.  Just because you could say these things, doesn't mean it's right to say.  What to these people even want, they are just people hiding behind a fake profile picture trying to attract a crowd.  They just want attention.  What people need to simply do is just notice what they are doing online.  They need to think about how it would affect others around them.  One other thing about online anonymity is that it's hard to trust those who say what they.  Not knowing who these sources come from creates a more untrustworthy environment.  Overall, online anonymity, in my opinion, has way more negatives than it does positives.
