The online world should not be a wild west where bots and bigots and trolls and others are anonymously going around and can harm people

jedisco:
Seun and Nairaland should learn from this.
Nairaland needs to do more to sanitise this place- its like a free all for cultural hate, bigotry, religious hate, woman hating e.t.c.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to go and insult folks. Most of the statements we've come to see as normal on NL will not be tolerated on FB, Twitter, Reddit e.tc which are social platforms of Western nations that champion 'free speech'. Imagine going on Facebook to say 'all British ladies are .....' But mods here allow such to flourish unchecked

Seun brandishes a disclaimer that 'everyone is responsible for what they post' but as the biggest Nigerian fora, he should know that disclaimer will not save him when law enforcement agencies come calling. Sooner or later, I expect some foreign news agencies to do an expose on the hate culture rife on Nairaland

Lol. The hunter would soon become the hunted.

You will see how sanity would be restored on those platforms. Na Nairaland them go come gather.



One redpiller unmasked himself. He was busy hunting snakes and warthogs in his village, while posting “Nigerian girls are useless”.

Person wey done see better food chop, wey get AC to dey blow him head, with supportive family and friends. You can’t come online to make another person’s sadness your priority.

Hiann!
Seems the Western world too are not comfortable with this social media abuses without any sense of responsibility.

macrodata:
The only western country that's suffering abuse of power similar to Nigeria is Australia. Their government & Buhari regime are like 5&6. The country is sick and tired of them. I see a revolution coming to Australia soon.

taarie:
good and very good l, Nairaland should follows asap

Elsueno:

Go & learn the difference between trolling & speaking the truth. When bad governance meets bitter truth, they get defensive. When they encounter meek populace, they become offensive.

While I do not support cyber bullying, can we totally disclose people's personal information for reasons that may not even be justifiable?

posty56:
fuk you, you can't handle a little insult? our freedoms are being taken slowly from us right in front of our eyes and you think is good, and besides if there're no trolls the internet won't be fun.

cayorday89:

The fact that it is online does not make it 100% virtual, it is still humans involved and there can be friendly banters not trolling, if we agree with what you said, then imagine the actual world where someone just comes to your car and hit the side mirror and he tells you he is just trolling you, how will you take it. Humans no send oo, but law has created consequences, let it happen in the online world also. #SayNoToTrolls

Elsueno:


"In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others"

I like online trolls, I find thier activities refreshing...when everyone follows the norm, everything will be stale!.. Just imagine everyone being a BMC zombie in Nigeria... God!
Trolls do not break or attack anybody or properties physically...
