It seems that every day we see something about how horrible people are on the internet. From turning a AI experiment into a hate spewing machine to cyber bullying and everything in between. But what we also see far less is a willingness for other online users to step in. I think that other users don't want to step in because they are also behind a screen and thus do not have the same sense of obligation to step up and help. But we need them to. Since there is more and more cases of cyber bullying just think of how many of them some other user saw and did nothing. Many times i think that they feel the one getting bullied should be able to take care of it, even if that includes them getting off of the site all together.
We need people to step up on social media and care more about each other, like how we do in real life. The need for this on the internet is starting to grow as bullies are becoming more and more aggressive and they are also hidden behind a screen.
