However, sometimes trolls may take their trolling too far. Take this Twitter user, for example. Sarah, a young teenager decided to troll the well-known company known as American Airlines. She stated that she was "gonna do something really big":
This incident shows you that trolling is not the best way to spend your time on the internet. It also shows you that just because many trolls get away from trouble doesn't mean that all trolls will get away.
Ideally, you shouldn't troll on the internet. You'll never know if your victim can find a way to get you in big trouble.
Examples like these are the ones that remove all power from trolling because of how they display trolling as being wrong from every angle. Everything about her approach just looks so dumb and unnecessary. What was her goal in doing this? Not to encourage her, but there wasn't even any dedication in her trolling; it just looks like a stupid offhand comment. And the consequences were incredibly out of proportion for her intent, or lack thereof. Sarah definitely made an example of herself here.
ReplyDeleteI understand where your coming from on this, it being trolls don't always remain anonymous as they wish. Some get blasted into the social media industry just like Sarah did when she so ignorantly posted that tweet. Most trolls seem to be brushed off but there are always the few that take it that extra step to insure there message is header (i.e. @americanair)
