Due to how easily people can gain “fame” online these days, we’re not held responsible, for whatever the !#$% we’re, saying online, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The Youtuber, Jade, used a joking sort of a manner to make a video on buying the breastmilk online, it’d made the community of mothers online angry; the secretary of the W.H.O., Adhanom pointed out the online community in Taiwan’s racist comments against him. Both of these incidents showed, the dark side of the power of the masses online.
Becoming famous online, or a famed Youtuber is now, the first choice in “show business” of this current generation. And, what lies behind the woman’s blurring the importance of breastmilk in the lessons of life by Yu, there are, the groups of individuals who’d wanted to become “Yu”, in the level of fame, for the sake of popularity, in trying to get as many hits as they possibly can, to make more money, their videos are debatable in contents, these sorts of programming, don’t care about stepping on the boundaries, and only focus on getting many hits to make more cash, not only do these videos and youtubers lead by a bad example, messing up the value systems in the younger generations, believing, that if they can get the collective attention of the online community, anybody can be famous.
Similarly, as a public figure, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, he naturally gained, the world’s, attention, constantly being watched, being, judged for his actions. And, when there’s debate on fighting the coronavirus, he will naturally, get thrown under the bus, like how the American President’s criticizing him for not handling the matter well openly, but the online community had, left the messages against him on the WHO websites, and, started up the calls of, getting him off his post.
And also, because of the anonymity online, using a false name, and, how we’re not responsible for what we say, bullying is happening all over the places. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus pointed specifically to the criticisms he’d received from the online community in Taiwan, that it may be, “trolls who’d lacked the moral standards, the people online on both sides of the straits, or some ghost writers who are, hiding behind the computer screens, to avoid the responsibilities of their own words.”
like this, and you can’t even, CATCH them!!! Illustration from online
Under the influences of the online realm, there are, a ton of these insults that are, sprouting up all over the places. Like the “Jades” who’d kept their media diaries, they only have egos, selfishness, without any sense of moral responsibilities, the cell phone users who just have a laugh about what’s been posted, because they have nothing else better to do, or that they’re, too bored out of their minds.
By the same token, as people want to voice their own opinions on public matters, they’d needed to, keep themselves in check on the values of equal rights online, and not becoming an accomplice to the cyberbullies, while the government needs to keep the rules, not breaching the people’s rights to free speech, otherwise, the dark power online, is too scary!
And so, this, is the powers of the online community, someone starts something up, then, the rest of us (trolls???), all follow suit, we all, head to the target, with our torches, like those, witch hunt days of the earlier colonial times in America, and that, is going BACKWARDS, and it’s all because of the lacking of CENSORSHIP online, because people can claim whatever the !@#$ (maxed out???) they want to claim, and they’re not MADE to take responsibilities for what they’re saying!
