There are internet users that are often victims of online trolling, they are now everywhere. Trolling are acts of online bullying in a few pointed tweets to back and forth thread. This leads Mashable to examine these issues from the perspective of the average Internet users that suffers from bullying and discrimination. Carl, 22 an internet user that experiences trolling...
"I lived with someone a few years ago that I thought to be a friend. After slowly realizing that they were completely mentally unstable, I basically tried to cut all ties with them and go home as little as possible. After the lease ran out and I left, I found an awful, vulgar post about me online that was full of hate, lies, and fake comments - all posted by the same person. I know it was him because I'd seen him on this hate-gossip site frequently before, always putting people on blast. There is no way to get these articles removed without the use of a lawyer. Every now and then I would see the article rise in search rankings on Google as it got more and more views, until it got where it is now - the #1 result for my name.
I haven't [overcome this]...I just moved to a new state and am seeking new full-time employment. I fear that every time I've applied for a job, someone Googles me and is faced with that article right at the top. I found a service that can remove it - for $2,600, which I just can't afford at this time. I need to find a good position, which I deserve, to make the money to get this removed - but I fear it's the very thing that has been stopping me from getting hired."
