The Dark Side of Online Trolling

Darren

If you've spent anytime on social media at some point you've interacted with a Troll. These are people who can be rude, disrespectful and sometimes even threatening. But who are they? What motivates someone to be antagonistic towards complete strangers?

In this podcast I discuss different kinds of trolls from the pest, to those who are desperate for any kind of attention, to those who are threatening and sadist. I look at the different motivations behind their behaviour and the motivations involved.
