I had seen a lot of bullying on social media. If this is happening to me, who only a few people are paying attention to, what happens to somebody who is on a bigger scale?
Kids are really cruel.
You have the right to free speech as an American - you have no right to use YouTube to do it. And the mobs that exist can form very quickly if they are offended by your presence there.
I get bullied a lot on social media, and it's terrible.
Discounting the ineffably repetitive homophobic barbs that I receive most days, Twitter trolls' most common gripe against me appears to be that I am 'posh.' Contrary to their unshakeable view, I was not born into the upstairs world.
I never knew how ugly and how stupid I was until, you know, we had Twitter.
I don't want to be followed by random men I don't know. It can also be hard to deal with other kids who are jealous or mean. I can't post a picture on Instagram without being criticized.
I was told that someone on Facebook said something 'horrible' about me. Who cares? At least they're watching the show.
I don't think there are many people out there - except, perhaps, the odd Twitter troll who knows no better - who believes that racially abusing people or threatening people is the right way to go.
There are keyboard terrorists everywhere who hide behind a veil of anonymity to pursue their vicious slanders.
Internet freedom is not possible without freedom from fear, and users will not be free from fear unless they are sufficiently protected from online theft and attack.
Every time somebody on the internet sort of glances at us sideways, we launch an attack at them. That's not going to work out for us long term, and the U.S. have to get ahead of the problem if we're going to succeed.
Parents can't monitor what you are doing on Snapchat.
We won't sit idly by when a crime is committed in the real world. So why should we when it happens in cyber space?
I wouldn't coach football now for nothing, and it's because of social media. That just bothers the heck out of me. People blast ya and you don't put their name down.
I have this really bad habit of doing things on the Internet and forgetting that the whole world is going to see it.
Bullying has been around since humans have been around, I think. I think it is wrong.
With my upbringing and where I grew up, people slagged people. If you slagged them, they'd slag you back... I know it pales in comparison to genuine issues that people have got, but I've had people slagging my stuff off on my blog and my website for years.
People are scared to have a strong opinion because, with social media, almost everyone lives the life of a celebrity.
The limit of freedom of expression is the point at which there is an attempt to harm a person or a country.
Anonymity, in some cases a key civil liberty, also enables society's worst actors.
Almost as soon as I came out as trans, there was a spike in online harassment more vicious than anything I'd experienced before. It turns out there are many people who spend a good portion of their spare time making life as miserable as possible for trans people.
When I was a kid, there was teasing in school. Then when I was a teenager on 'Days of Our Lives,' I certainly experienced hurtful comments from 'fans' of the show.
I've had to learn not to read all the bad comments, or if you do, try and not take it into your soul, body, brain, and heart.
As you know, I get a lot of abuse on Twitter. And while I'm abroad on training camp, I train three times a day, often for two hours a time, and I haven't got time to respond to all the people that ask questions.
