Anonymity
Anonymity can be both good or bad. Some people use it to share their beliefs and opinions publicly, with out having to fear other people judging them. It serves as a mask that protects people from being judged or attacked. On the other hand, trolls use anonymity as well to say hateful things with out being punished. If the trolls remain anonymous then their isn't anyone to face for what they did. When trolls use anonymity as a type of "shield" against their victims, it creates frustration for the person being bullied because they don't even know who is saying mean things about them. Anonymous posts aren't always bad, but I do believe their wouldn't be so many trolls if anonymity didn't exist.

I agree with your post. I feel that most of the hateful comments would go away if anonymity did too. People use it for more good than bad and it can really affect someone. People use anonymity to get to others that they wouldn't do if they were on there actually self on the internet, if that makes sense. But I also think that anonymity can go both ways, it can be either good or bad.
