Anonymity online causes more problems than its wroth. Doing away with anonymous profiles would get rid of trolling all together. The real problem isn't so much trolling as it is online harassment/ abuse. trolling has become such a broad term it has made the actual problem unclear. Also having online anonymity just gives people the capability to hide behind a wall and bring others down. The answer is to do away with it all and we'll e grand.
What about the people who use anonymity for a good cause ? I agree with you in a sense that having online anonymity does give them the capability to hide and hurt others no question about that however i dont think the answer is to get rid of it all. It is not fair to the people who follow the guidelines. Sometimes people use anonymity because they are to shy or embarrassed to post what they need help in.I cant say what the answer to everything is or what to do because im no expert haha.
ReplyDeleteI think anonymity adds to what the internet is. You don't know what's out there, so you should prepare yourself for what could be. Not censor tons of people just because a few can't take whats being said.
ReplyDeleteI suppose there should be a few exceptions to this but getting rid of anonymity for youtube and other such things wouldn't affect the internet negatively. It would solve the problem in cases like that; where people are just ignorant and annoying.
