Trolling is something that no one wants to go through. In my case I wouldn't ever want to go through it or even do it. There is no point of trolling, especially anonymously. Sometimes i think about how everyone is so desensitized and no one really understands that trolling does harm people, mentally and physically. It hurts to see that people go through this and sometimes I feel powerless. The law enforcement should take these things a little bit more seriously. It seems as if the website (Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter) takes these situations into account and more seriously than law enforcement does. They take comments down, delete accounts, and spread awareness more than law enforcement. Thats scary. That's all the website does and is capable of doing. Sometimes people's lives are at risk and no precautions are taken. Its sad that the website does more than the law does. Some people argue that the law can't do much because of the first amendment, it is also illegal to send out threats that will result in death. This is when sticky situations are made because the area is so grey in the first amendment. People do have freedom of speech but where is the line drawn? I have never been trolled before but I know people who have been and it's scary. People making death threats, saying that they know where the person resides is all very scary. There has been events with trolling that led to death, people killing himself or the troller killing their victim, these are obviously not ok but as the years go by everyone seems to be getting more educated on cyberbullying and trolling.
