DIFFRENCE BETWEEN Trolling AND Cyberbullying......

debojyoti012 May 8th, 2019

Trolling

Trolling is internet slang for a person who intentionally starts arguments or upsets others by posting inflammatory remarks. The sole purpose of trolling is angering people. It has been compared to flaming in cyberbullying. Plus, many people who troll think what they do is an "art". They frequently hide behind a cloak of anonymity. The symbol for trolling is a black and white drawing of a face with a mischievous grin, which is symbolic of the expression someone is making while trolling victims.

Purpose

To be a source of entertainment for the troller

To be offensive and argumentative

To derive pleasure from annoying the hell out of others

To scour the internet for bait (a.k.a. you)

Cyberbullying:

Cyberbullying is deliberate and repeated harm inflicted through using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies, or mobile phones.

Purpose

To get revenge

To feel empowered

To gain popularity

To harass and threaten
