She really understands social networks trolling and how it works in details, very good article. It is something like inescapable in the internet, and this is very sad. I ran an italian social network site for many years and this was our main problem. If you read Twitter, this is huge. Moreover a few companies are making the problem worse by polarizing and using this in order to attack competitors. The DMCA thing is spot-on: creating facts from nothing, since there are enough people saying it, it must be true. Nobody bothers to actually check. However, doesn't this just reflect a general lack of "information analysis" skills of most people on the internet? The "button" trolls are able to touch to enable certain behaviors in other people, sounds very related to their inability to take apart true information from false information. Logical analysis from faked one. So after all the root cause is that most communities are not the quality they should be.
