The video that I posted before, pertained to how social media is dividing us even more. The video was centered around politics. Just like politics, we are also being divided by something else. Trolls are further dividing us as they fuel the fires on social media. Some users feel as if they can't post online without being attacked, for sharing a simple opinion about something. During this week, we learned the impact about trolls, something that we all have encountered before this class. However, this class showed more of an impact of what trolls are doing to the internet. When the internet started gaining popularity in the early days, it was a more pleasant place. You could share an opinion without being attacked by multiple people. Now, trolls can be found on every post. They purposely attack others because they have gained a sense that they are powerful, hiding behind a screen.

Social media is dividing the United States more than it does to unite us.
