Kochi: The social media is notorious for ‘trolling’ an online activity which sees users posting offensive, derogatory and abusive comments on public platforms.
But Keralites have given a whole new meaning to this phenomenon by targeting a celebrity or a particular person and then showering abuses on him or her. Interestingly, most of the users who engage in online duels use fake IDs. Most of them have five or six fake IDs and are capable of making a topic viral in an hour or two.
In the recent issue, the New York Times banned and blocked several Keralites, but in vain. The banned users rallied their troops and launched an attack as if they were engaged in an online war. Most of the users are members of various FB communities.
