Thank social media for privilege of anonymityOut of the many things that it has delivered to mankind, anonymity must be one of the treasured fruits and gifts of social media Like a balaclava, few things facilitate free unhinged banter like these platforms. Of course, social media often becomes a double-edged sword of sorts, with the small risk that leaves it prone to wanton abuse. Ask the very many victims of trolls and cyber-bullying on the streets of social media Like a drunk person's words, social media posts often offer a glimpse into the rarely seen, deeply seated truths in persons' hearts and minds. Being on social media is like being part of a shouting mob in pitch darkness. No wonder the many pseudonyms that litter social media platforms today.
