(Week Late Post) We Need to Know When To Know Whats Acts are Forms of "Trolling"

I would have to express that, if you were to be "trolled",  know that this act should mean online harassment through cyberstalking or incites of violence or harm, not engaging conversation in a joking or sarcastically responding or commenting towards someone online. In my opinion, joke can be perceived as offensive, but they do not carry a message as damning and as terrifying as a real threat of physical violence or danger. Yet another example of "trolling" would be doxing an individual, and exploiting them by releasing their private information. This has been used on multiple people and many different groups of people, some of which include feminists and people who support GamerGate, an online movement about journalistic integrity and ethics in video game journalism which turned sour from some of these trolls spewing hatred towards others, sometimes, exclusively women and minority groups. Just imagine if any information about you was disclosed to public, anything that could harm you or cause you to become incarcerated, et cetera, wouldn't that concern you and make you worried? I have viewed Gawker Media, an online blog forum which has released private information about others in order to gain traction, resulting to them being known as a gossip news station to some. For example, the media site had released that California Senator Roy Ashburn was a closeted homosexual; he was married and had a couple children, but after hearing the news, his wife had left him and took their children along with her. In my opinion, some entities such as this can be viewed as trolls for ruining of shattering a person lifestyle. It seems that trolls are only out there to harm others, not joke and laugh along with their followers.
