    I’m having to educate my teenage niece that the comments she sees online are not necessarily real people. The more inflammatory a comment, the more you have to wonder “does this person just want me to get mad?”

      This is the sad reality. It’s like the days where in school you were told wikipedia is not a credible source. We’ve peaked at the internet isn’t a credible source while books are disappearing.
