Answer:
Anonymity, asynchronous communication, and empathy deficit contribute to online disinhibition. Anonymity can make a person feel safe online, like a different person; one might even take on a new persona.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, a group of students might bully a classmate online and then feel encouraged to force him or her in person. There have been several well-documented cases of online bullying leading to organized efforts to ostracize classmates and severe depression in victims. The ODE has positive consequences like more accessible self-expression and negative consequences like cyberbullying. The negative effects of online disinhibition like hate speech are often called toxic disinhibition. Sometimes it simply affects how people reveal themselves online (called benign ODE).
