Diverting a discussion?
Some people believe that the best way to deal with trolls is to simply ignore them and not engage with their behavior. By blocking them and not giving them attention, it can effectively put an end to their actions. However, this approach can be challenging for some people and some may not be able to handle the negative words on the screen. Some trolls may enjoy causing discord and may redirect conversations from the original topic to something they want to talk about. An example of this is discussing rape culture in Indian colleges, where trolls may argue that there is no rape culture in these colleges and steer the conversation away from finding solutions to the problem. This type of behavior is often referred to as trolling and can have a negative impact on platforms like Twitter, which has seen a decline in its stock price.
Celebrities and Internet Trolls
Trolls can be harmful whether they are spreading truths or lies, and it is difficult to control their behavior. Trolling is often used as a tactic to get people to spend their money, and it is supported by the billionaire’s club. The public is often exploited for entertainment purposes. People tend to have little empathy for celebrities when it comes to social media, especially online celebrities who receive a lot of criticism. For example, Nasir Khan Jan, a Facebook sensation. Celebrities often receive a lot of benefits such as tax breaks, free gifts, and access to the media, and it is not clear why they would need to have personal social media accounts that are open to the public. They are already in the public eye enough.
