Video Outline

Main points I will be covering in my video:

1. On the Internet, people are free to manipulate their identity/identities.
2. Some people (trolls) exploit this relatively penalty-free situation.
3. For trolls, identity is not the same as the self.
3. In doing so, they reveal the ineffectiveness/incompatibility of real-life social norms with an online context.
4. Regulations cannot be enforced, taboos lose power, and trolls get entertainment without serious consequences.
5. Trolls demonstrate that normal rules of social interaction don't apply.
