4. Doxxed and Blocked: 鈥榃e鈥檙e distressed about war in the Middle East and now trolls are after us.'

Marianna in Conspiracyland Why Do You Hate Me? USA

The social media tactic harming and further polarising people.

Few topics have caused as much division online as the deepening war in the Middle East. In this episode, Marianna is in New York investigating the experiences of students targeted on social media. They have been affected by doxxing 鈥� where their personal information is shared online triggering racist and misogynistic hate 鈥� by people wanting to make a wider political argument. The abuse that they have received has impacted each of their views in different but significant ways and potentially influenced their vote in the US presidential election. Marianna tracks down some of their trolls and confronts one of them.
