the claim

Anonymity increases internet trolling.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Anonymity increases internet trolling?

Partly. Some sources assert that anonymity increases trolling, including a psychoanalytic commentary and a Wikipedia summary of a study, while one empirical survey of college students found anonymity was not a significant predictor of trolling. The evidence covers the claim only partially and points in both directions.
