Cause of Social Media
The ripple effects on the victims were crucial to how they were treated and how they felt after being harassed online. Slater raises the important question about who is to blame and what it means to be accountable for one’s actions and what and which occurs to the one targeted: “Ana was afraid to go to her second period class because one of the account followers was in the class. Nobody looked at her the same now. Suddenly she was questioning everything.”(109). Human toxicity can occur more when being online due to the fact that the victim is not in front of you and you could say more disrespectful comments to them. Ultimately, Accountable is a thought provoking read that encourages a deeper understanding of justice and the complexities of human behavior in the digital world and age.
