Cyber Attack in Twitter Alliance
The problem with social media is not the presence of trolls, but rather the psychology surrounding its use. One troll may not be a significant issue, but when multiple trolls come together, the harassment can become overwhelming. The use of fake accounts and unconnected words is a problem for social media companies like Twitter, which has seen its stock price drop from $69 to $17 in the last three years. The company is struggling and some believe that the hostility on the platform is one contributing factor to its decline. Additionally, trolls can use personal information found online to harass their targets. This has led to potential acquirers such as Disney and Salesforce to be concerned about the negative impact trolls can have on a company’s value.
