60. Twitter trolls and the decline in civil discourse
About this episode
Trolls are people who create and spread offensive messages over the internet. These people usually select easy targets like public figures. Some people do it out of boredom, some want to get a response, or do it to seek attention.
On today’s podcast we question online trolling and their contribution to the decline in civil discourse.
If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're
