Why Does The Internet Bring Out The Worst In Some People? by zboyd: 3:25am On Jul 16, 2014
Do you think the Internet brings out the worst in some people? What about the best?

Are there things you've said on the Internet that you'd hesitate to say or wouldn't dare say to another person face-to-face?

While freedom of speech allows anyone to air their opinions, the Internet has given us a medium of anonymity that makes it easy for its users to behave badly, largely without consequence. As a social experiment, it raises some interesting considerations for humanity as a whole. It shows what happens when no social or legal pressure exists to "keep people in line."

What do you think would happen if everyone who used the Internet could be positively identified? If everything you did or said had your photo next to it? Would you be less likely to post that mean, nasty message or stalk someone all over the Internet?
