Social media continues to be a vicious place of sorts and even though we know that it has several persk for many to enjoy, they are now too far and between the constant evils that the platform exhibits. Trolling, cyber bullying, rape threats and other things seem to be a constant these days and seemingly only getting murkier with every passing day.
