It is basically an opportunity for people to articulate their biases that would not typically be condoned in “real life”. To me it’s not so bad because it can be comical, but it also scares me to think of what people are capable of doing if they were given the power and protection that anonymity supposedly offers. Basically we’re back to the Gyges ring situation- that people lack motivation to be moral if they know they can get away with doing wrong.

Yik Yak tries shut down highschool postings… selectively and only after the fact. I see on even our UCLA yikyak, people talking crap about people they encounter throughout the day, names aren’t used but the idea of being publicly judgemental bothers me a lot. Those posts get attention and theres is a positive feedback loop for being impatient and rude. Again, we see having complete anonymity online somehow makes it okay to post really hateful and hurtful things. One of the real dangers that fuels online bullying.

Some things are funny but a lot of it is pretty mean. I definitely feel it’s one of the social media apps you can live without if you don’t like the content but…. at the same time if people are calling you out by name…. then that does get a little weird… but it also shows the person writing it as a person who is “creating drama” and if they’re not creating it… they’re still continuing it which is immature
