Sebastien Lahtinen, co-founder of thinkbroadband.com said: “The issue of online anonymity is a complex one. The internet has empowered many users by providing them with a platform to share views openly without fear of retribution or judgment, but we also see people making hurtful comments online that they would never consider making offline, in the expectation that their comments would never be attributed to them. Recent trials around abusive tweets have shown that anonymous comments online can cause very real damage offline.”
