Online Vigilante Behavior – Bad Social Media Practices Under Attack?

Social media networks often witness negative online behavior in the form of vicious two-way attacks, but there is also a dangerous trend of online vigilantism, where some individuals identify as online experts and attack bad social media practices that they deem harmful or disingenuous. Such self-appointed online vigilantes often exhibit negative personality traits, such as being disingenuous themselves, sarcastic, vindictive, and narcissistic. While these attacks attract followers, it is important to address social media behavior and etiquette with more positive strategies.
