The internet and social media should be a fun place where people can express themselves and post whatever they want. However, internet trolls are ruining it for everyone. They constantly lurk on many social media platforms and leave hateful comments. Tons of people are harassed online daily by these people. Zelda Williams was a victim of these internet trolls. After her father, Robin Williams, committed suicide, many left hateful comments which led to her quitting social media altogether. This is a prime example of trolls ruining the internet. Personally, I have never come across one, and I hope I never do. I feel as though trolls are just looking for attention. They comment hateful or rude things just to get a reaction out of someone. Not to mention, they are cowards. I can guarantee you that these trolls could never say something so hateful to somebody in person. They hide behind a screen and make other people feel miserable. Not just trolls, but any type of bully has a lot of insecurities. They make themselves feel better by tearing down others. We can never stop trolls, but we can try to slow them down. If someone trolls you, ignore and block them. It is best to not give them the attention they are looking for. If you see a hateful comment, report it to the app. Trolls are taking the fun out of the internet and social media and we need to stand up to these hateful people.
Trolls are ruining the internet. They are certainly not making the internet fun at all. But in a way aren't the trolls expressing themselves too. How can we possibly stop trolls from saying what they want to say? Just simply ignoring them? Isn't that only going to make them respond even more?
