Hello,
we are talking about JOGGER:
https://forums.futura-sciences.com/actu ... ligne.htmlResearch shows that it is not the anonymity of the Internet that arouses hostility. On the contrary, being obnoxious is usually already well established with the online troll.
The Danish study published last week (link below) aimed to identify differences in online and offline behavior, based on surveys of more than 8 American and Danish subjects.
Common excuses for social media anxiety and forums of discussion are the loss of empathy due to the lack of body language feedback, the minimal context conveyed by the plain text, and the reduction in inhibitions due to responding from a safe and familiar place.
According to lead author Alexander Bor from Danish University Aarhus:
There are many psychological reasons that make it harder for us to control our mood online. Ultimately, personality differences turn out to be a much stronger driver of hostility online.
Clearly, the statistics from the study suggest that online trolls are already trolls long before they end up behind a keyboard. They are equally hostile in face-to-face debates. And that has implications for troll hunters.
Still according to Bor:
We cannot eradicate hate online through education, because it does not arise from ignorance. Hostile people know their words hurt, and that's why they use them.
But Bronwyn Carlson of Macquarie University (Australia) says online trolls aren't that binary, although personality plays a key role.
For example, racists can express their opinions through online harassment, but they can also “remain friendly while continuing to make racist comments or“ help ”us see the“ big things ”that civilization does. Western did for us ”.
According to Bronwyn Carlson:
They don't always remain anonymous either: some, and even many, are happy to know who they are, and they stand up for their opinions.
The study reinforces the danger of the amplified voices of trolls, and how these “useful idiots” can be exploited. Anger drives answers. It means more clicks. It means more income. Social media and search algorithms have long discovered this and are actively promoting it.
Feeding the trolls is big business. And angry trolls make useful political and marketing tools. Anger attracts the attention of profit-seeking algorithms. Thus, the more intense a gathering of trolls, the more their voice and their message are propelled.
The internet serves as an automated filter and funnel. It is an amplification mechanism which strongly distorts what it reflects.
According to Bor:
To end hate online, we need to decrease the visibility and reach of those who are hateful. The alternative is that many people will be dissuaded from participating in online discussions. This is a democratic problem, given that social media is playing an increasingly important role in political processes.
