The name of the article is “The Measure of Online Disinhibition (MOD): Assessing perceptions of reductions in restraint in the online environment”

It’s essentially a study of the drop of human inhibitions while communicating with people online and the potential causes and impacts. It highlights that people tend to treat others more harshly on the internet

I personally feel this is important because witg enough studies and attention, we as internet users can begin to change how we treat others

      I also wanted to point out that people who are shitty to other people on the internet are just a simple statistic now. Being another number is what they get for their efforts of being fuckwads haha
