Intro
The internet is an entirely different world than real life. We can talk to whoever we want and tell stories on social media, which is awesome! Sadly, there are many bad things about it. Since people have anonymity, they don’t own up to what they say. Sometimes, they will use hate speech. These people might be low key in real life—but on the internet, they have the audacity to say some mean things.
Vocab
Example Even my mom has started using social media. She has her own blog!
Example We have a lot of anonymity on the internet. We can talk and people don't even know who we are.
Example I can't believe they have the audacity to push in front of other people.
