60 Reasons to Protest: Reason #12 – The Online Trolls
We have heard it all before, haven’t we?
- The airport was there first.
- Don’t live near an airport.
- If you don’t like it, move.
- Flight path noise ain’t that bad.
- The concrete has set.
We have all experienced it many times. It’s not bad enough that we suffer flight path noise pollution but we also receive ongoing harassment from online trolls.
Trolls are sad individuals who engage in deliberate disruptive behaviour on the internet, particularly in Facebook groups, and in the comment sections on other social media platforms. They intentionally provoke and harass others by posting inflammatory, offensive, or misleading content with the goal of generating emotional responses and derailing discussions.
Trolls frequently disseminate false information or engage in manipulative tactics to deceive others. Their actions contribute to the proliferation of misinformation, which can have far-reaching consequences, such as influencing public opinion, shaping narratives, or damaging BFPCA’s reputation.
