Analyzing Our Role on Social Media
Throughout this module I have realized how so many people unintentionally contribute to toxicity online and may be unaware of the offensive things they say or they say it with the intention to harm others. When speaking on intersectionality and how this effects our lives some people never have the experience of being attacked online due to things about themselves they cannot change. This then leads to sub groups on the internet like Black Twitter or recently “alt-TikTok” its a way for people to feel safe online. We see so many internet trolls that only want to cause harm to innocent people and I believe that we need to make a stance to get social media apps to change their posting policy to make the internet a safer place. We need to make the internet less filled with hate or make it harder for those people to have access to harming marginalized groups. However, in doing this there is going to be pushback from trolls who have made the internet a horrible place and caused people to do horrible things like we see so many children who get cyber bullied and leave this world too soon
