Fine distinction
The dynamic nature of the internet allows for the real power of people to change and adjust its negative impact at any time. Restricting the competition of its real power, whether it is positive or negative, is the true hidden definition of the term “troll.” Some people are labeled as trolls unjustly, simply because they may disagree with something that has been brought up in a discussion. Sometimes, regardless of the argument presented, one can be dismissed as a troll. However, not all dissenting voices are trolls. They are simply adding their voice to the conversation, which is how discussions work. It’s not trolling, it’s just healthy debate. However, those who engage in personal attacks and cause disruption, often using multiple identities, are considered trolls in the traditional sense. In summary, one is considered a troll if one disagrees with the dominant narrative and engages in personal attacks. It can feel like thought control, but that is just a personal opinion.
Moderation in Concluding Someone as a Troll
The internet has made aggression and anonymity more prevalent, leading to an increase in trolling. However, the definition of a troll has evolved to mean someone who deliberately causes trouble online. Some people believe that we should be able to laugh at ourselves and not take trolling too seriously. However, it is important to recognize that cyberbullying does exist and can have serious consequences. The real issue is that the backlash against trolling and fake news is threatening free speech. The real problem is that those in power are using it as an excuse to silence opposing opinions. There should be more accountability for those who run social media sites or threads, and society should strive to protect freedom of speech.
