Trolls, Kids, and Suicides

I came across this article a few months back and it is a very good read in our understanding of the Internet. The subject may be outside the scope of our syllabus but is still related to our earlier readings. 

Trolling is a rampant Internet-exclusive activity. It's basically by purposely (or even purposelessly) provoking someone in an online community or platform by harassing the individual. Panggago lang bale.

It's natural and it occurs 24/7 in our online world where ignorance is a plague but sometimes people forget to consider the faces behind the keyboards. This when trolling stops being fun and just inconsiderate and enters hurtful and abusive. I really hope you guys can find the time to read the article below.
