It's not pretty and it's not emotionally intelligent to go back to the concept, right? It's like what's your goal here? Like I always ask people that like what are you getting out of being nasty?

In my earlier research with Facebook, we analyzed millions and millions of posts. And You know, people can be intentionally mean and hurtful. Just people want to rip people to shreds and they want to instill fear. And, you know, it's very hard to disentangle that too, just to be honest.

So like what we found in our research was that I could say, if you're like, Andrew's wearing a black shirt, you'll see that. I could say like, nice shirt. And it might mean nice shirt or it might mean I'm making fun of your shirt. And it's just hard, like that's the problem, you know, with social media in terms of posts.

We don't really know because the person who's receiving it has a story, right? That was one challenge we found around like getting posts taken down.

was that it was hard to have that objective criterion of what was painful to a person, which is why what we tried to do was help the person who was receiving the content communicate in a way with the person who posted the content to get them to take it down. And what we found was that it actually worked really well.

If you taught a teenager, for example, to say, hey, Andrew, that comment you made really was hurtful. Would you please take it down? We were more likely to get people to take it down. And what we found in experimental research was that If we just let people go on their own devices, it tended to be more retaliatory. Like, who the heck do you think you are? You want to fight back.

And that did not motivate the person to take it down. So even meeting gross behavior with compassion can be helpful.
