In the previous class, and in my own reading, collaboration
among groups of people in different spaces was the main topic. I, as well as
the rest of the class, learned that the growth of the Internet allows for
individuals to communicate and congregate in a more efficient way. Although I
the book Her Comes Everybody, the focus was on the positive side of this, the
chapter in Baron’s book, entitled, The Dark side of the Web, explains how this
collaboration has also lead to the gathering of hateful groups.
It’s a given that with any new technology, there is both a
good and a bad. Baron writes about the formation of hateful groups that are
able to act in such ways because they can remain anonymous within the Internet.There is no way to control what is posted there, unless the location in which you live has restrictions in place.
As frequent users of the internet, we know that these places where the worst of the worst reside.entire websites have come into scrutiny There's Reddit that contains questionable content and more recently 4chan that has an entire section thread labeled /b/ which most recently leaked nude pictures of famous female celebrities.
