Anonymous Blogging

Anonymous blogging is the secretive posting on social media. Why does it exist? It is often that people who blog anonymously also post about subjects that are either embarrassing or hateful. People find that anonymously blogging provides them with a cloak of invisibility in means of identity. When people discover the freedom and power they have when being able to spread their word without worrying about the consequences, they often take advantage. I'm sure it is safe to say that the majority of people who constantly use the World Wide Web have at least considered taking advantage of the anonymity of certain social media platforms. Being able to say your absolute and honest opinion on a subject without having to worry about being judged? Sign me up. Though not all people who blog anonymously are using it for negativity, it is safe to say that as long as anonymous blogging exists, the people who do use blogging for negativity will continue to take advantage. In order for society to really minimize the amount of negative activity that happens online.
We must try to eliminate all social media websites from having a type of anonymous blogging and instead, insure that all accounts are made to show who the person is and that nothing is anonymous. Only then will the people of the internet be safe from possible anonymous negativity online. The promotion of non-anonymous blogging will ultimately help prevent negativity from being spread on the internet.
