在我眼中，现在整个世界似乎都越来越无可救药，充斥着无穷无尽的冲突和愤怒，美国电影网站Birth.Movies.Death的主编德温•法拉奇说道。

People have long held strong views but didn’t always have the medium in which to express them, save for *venting to friends at dinner or telling all their problems to the poor woman behind the post office counter when dropping off mail.

人们早就抱有强烈的偏激，但却往往找不到渠道去表达，只能在晚饭时找朋友发泄，或是在寄邮件时向可怜的邮局女柜员吐苦水。

But the *anonymity, ease of use and instant worldwide audience of social media has changed all that.

然而，社交媒体的匿名性、便捷性和易用性将这一切都改变了。

I had a great-uncle who complained about everything, but we were the only ones who heard it, says Robert Thompson, a professor of television and popular culture at Syracuse University, US.

我有一个爱发牢骚的伯祖父，我们这些家人是唯一能听他发牢骚的，美国雪城大学电视与流行文化教授罗伯特•汤普森说道。

Now everyone would hear about it.

而现在，所有人都能充当他的听众。

The social media space has become free of age boundaries, which in turn has led to an *influx of *trolls, according to Faraci.

法拉奇认为，社交媒体并无年龄的界限，而这也带来了大量恶意挑衅的帖子。
