Abstract:
Abstract Internet trolling is one of the fastest spreading pieces of computer jargon of the 21stcentury. The term has been helpful for building the careers of politicians in search of causes to fight, as well as mass media organisations looking for a means to create a moral panic that provides both entertainment and interest to their audiences. English speaking Countries across the world have quickly adopted the term to better communicate ideas and concepts around forms of internet abuse and misuse. The term trolling has essentially gone from meaning provoking others for mutual enjoyment to meaning abusing others for only one’s own enjoyment. Trolling is a phenomenon that is normally covered in a very biased way. Hardly anyone has written about trolls in a positive way, other that the trolls themselves and most people wouldn’t even go as far to associate trolling with the word culture. Although the word “to troll” was probably not mentioned in this context until the UseNet of the early 90s, similar behaviour could even be seen in Socrates, who lures others into thinking of themselves as savants or scholars who then proceed to teach the, now famous, philosopher. This went on until Socrates asked questions that questioned the whole philosophy of the other leading to his realization to not know anything. This cannot be compared entirely to the trolls of modern days, but the phenomenon was there for a long time. The Internet, however, amplified this behaviour with anonymity, ephemerality and the following disinhibit ion of the mind.
