What are lolcows, the unwitting targets of online bullies?
Do you really know? 
Открыть в Hinto Об эпизоде
The online bullies have come up with a derogatory term for their targets; lolcows. Like cash cows, they are exploited, or milked, for entertainment purposes.  Longstanding American forum Kiwi Farms was shut down by Cloudflare in early September 2022. The reason: an “imminent and emergency threat to human life”, according to the internet infrastructure company. That’s because the forum is pretty much dedicated to online harassment. This includes practices like group trolling, doxxing and cyberstalking. It can spill over into real-life harassment too. At least two victims have committed suicide since the site was created. Who was the first lolcow? What can we do about this bullying? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
