The article written by Melissa King “Better Online Living Through Content Moderation”, is an analysis of the growing amounts of reported cyber-bullying cases and the effects it can have on the victim and the community as a whole. The beginning of the article focuses on the definition of “peer pressure” and what it personally means to many people. People tend to avoid using “content control” which is the use of the settings of social media to block individuals who are offending you, because that is seen as being “weak” and being “cowardly”. The author then however rebuts this view by saying that the overall benefits of content control far out way the social stigma that comes with it. With the continued attacks on personal self-esteem, many people are beginning to show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Results of this are not going to school, thoughts of violence against their aggressors, and predominately thoughts of suicide. The counter to this argument, is that online threats are simply “just online” and have no real value or truth to threats being made. Caleb Lack, an expert on clinical psychology, states that bullying for continued periods of time can have a very negative effect and stimuli on the brain. Many every devices and social media formats are gateways to many different forms of intimidation which can cause an epidemic of PTSD among different people. In the conclusion of the article, King finally addresses the repercussions that should be given to those that intimidate others online. Legal action should primarily be taken to stop the problem from continuing. She then states that primarily girls and women are usually the top victims of online harassment and bullying. She then references from “Gamergate” a controversy in 2014, that addressed many of the gender inequalities found in the video gaming world. Many of those involved in Gamergate were then threatened with violence if those chose to speak freely and express themselves. Even though mean comments can never truly be avoided on the Internet, King believes it is the job of social media to ensure there is a way for people to control these comments, and maintain a healthy state of mind.
