Any docs about trolls being caught?


Has anyone ever seen a show or documentary where an actual internet troll is confronted face to face?
I guess I am probably being stupidly optimistic here....But there is no harm in asking.

reply

Explain yourself. What Internet troll are you speaking of?

Any lol.
I don't mean with this show specifically.
Just in general...
Have you ever seen a documentary or footage of an internet troll being caught and confronted face to face?
Probably not.....But it would be highly satisfying to witness.

reply

No, on trolls being arrested. As long as threats weren't being made or followed through, there's no need to arrest trolls. Trolls are just to antagonize people.

I'm probably not going to be useful here because I can't remember a title or where I even saw this (I believe it was the internet). There was a video where a reporter or someone confronted a racist troll about something he was saying online. In that country it was illegal to make racist remarks but I still don't think he got in trouble.

That's an interesting idea for a show... Find the worst, most annoying internet trolls and bring them out of anonymity.

The only one close to your description that I know of is about a CAtfisher that was also a troll. She wasn't confronted face to face but it was a crazy sick story. called "talhotblonde".

reply

That sounds very familiar, I think I may have seen it.
Something about a woman getting someone online to murder someone else?
I might have to check it out.

This Swedish series has Robert Aschberg confronting people who have made politically incorrect remarks on the internet. In Sweden this is serious business since it can cost you your job.
In reality, Aschberg is a communist/left winger who is trying to intimidate his political opponents. He even poses with a baseball bat.

"politically incorrect remarks" - get your head out of your own bunghole!
Try racist remarks, hate speech, sexual harassment and illegal threats.
Aschberg may be left wing, but that has NO impact on the foul crap that the trolls in this show is spewing.
