The Dark Side of the Internet

Along with the development of the Internet, it is now a part of the daily lives of most people, without which people can not operate or perform daily business or activities. With just a few clicks you can communicate with people all over the world. However, technology changes and progress seems to be good, so people will use technology and find ways to use it for criminal purposes and turn it into a negative tool.

The Internet has dark side, probably a lot of dark side. However, it allows us to connect in a way that we have so far been impossible. Whatever the distance, whatever the circumstances, you can contact millions of people in a blink of an eye. You will definitely find people who will walk like you. Indeed, the creation of an online community allows us to speak directly with others who share our beliefs. But it also allows us to limit our news consumption to sources that tend to strengthen our existing beliefs. This operation creates a so-called "echo room". Take Facebook as an example. You can join Facebook group based on existing friends and existing favorites. If you support a political party, you may be inclined to join the Facebook community based on that alliance. Within the group you will also be exposed to articles, discussions, and even one or two memes related to shared beliefs, or they will be shared.

We tend to ignore the dark side of the Internet culture - we do not offer food for the troll, we avoid sites with problems like 4 Chan and Reddit. However, some people think that the dark side of the Internet should not be ignored, and the behavior of the Internet is more than we admit. The best argument we should focus on the behavior of the Internet can be found in articles like "Trolls between Us" by Mattathias Schawartz. Schwarz solved the theme of "internet troll", its history, and examples of these creatures participating in society. He gave some examples of people who began to show a more vicious nature because he got the anonymity of this new discovery on the Internet. It gives us insight as to how the Internet slowly changes how people respond to the tragedy occurring in our world, like the Mitchell-Henderson incident.
