Being anonymous could either be a good thing or a bad thing. It is by your actions whether you will use it for good or bad. Anonymous posting is not really a horrible thing. It lets you express yourself without a screen name. You can ask questions that you will be too shy to ask your family or friends. For example, a pregnant woman would want to know more stuff about her reproductive system. Weed growers would want to know how much water is needed. People may need to know what type of disease they have without revealing their information.
There are many reasons why being anonymous can be bad. "It quickly morphed to refer to the monsters who hide in darkness and threaten people...Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny” (TIME). This is a perfect example of what a troll is and what trolls do to society. There are people who actually live to see other people hurt for just retweets and likes.People are getting hurt left and right without them knowing who's throwing the punches. These actions caused by this type of bloggers can cause serious havoc on social media to the point where people are deleting their facebook, twitter, and Instagram accounts to people committing suicide.
