‘What Is Google Perspective and How Does It Limit Trolls?’ – Small Business Trends
SBT team says, “The internet is a place where many things can happen. People use it to inspire, motivate, organize, inform and debate. But like all powerful outlets with minimally regulated environments, the internet has also become a place where disagreements can quickly turn into verbal sparring and even harassment. The removal of face-to-face contact and the anonymity provided by a screen and keyboard emboldens some users to unleash on one another, or rather, troll one another.
Since the rapid takeoff of social platforms and the recognition of deeply problematic issues like cyberbullying, trolling has become as ingrained in the culture of online users as any other part of the internet. Some platforms, such as Yik Yak, seem to exist for the sole purpose of trolling, and online users can now expect the comments section of any shared post or news article to be flooded with deliberately offensive, provocative and unproductive comments”.
