Here on this quiet small town website for Leyland, it's easy to forget the extent of the abuse that some people suffer on the internet.
We are lucky that this sort of thing doesn't happen on our forum. We take the relative peace and quiet for granted, but once you take away the moderation there's no telling what horrors would take over.
quote:
Broadcaster Richard Bacon has been targeted by an obsessive tirade of anonymous online abuse over the last two years, aimed not just at him but at his wife, mother and baby son. Motivated by his own experience, in this documentary Richard attempts to hunt down and confront three online bullies, including his own, only to learn that unmasking these so-called trolls can be a dangerous pursuit.
