Technology for the anti-social

It’s a shame to run into this vile posts, and reposts, and responses, and backslaps, and threats, and lawyers. Oy.

Twitter is apparently the place to confront people that you probably don't even know, and insult them without having to deal with them face-to-face; how sad.

Even though Hollywood could calmly and quietly fit all of them, a Twitter-war erupted when Demi Moore reprimanded Perez Hilton about his comments about her fifteen-year-old daughter Tallulah Moore dressing like a s*lut and insulting Bruce, Demi and Ashton as parents.

She wrote the following:

“Clearly Perez Hilton isn’t taking violating child pornography laws very seriously. He might not but there are alot of people who do!” She then added, “Anyone who advertises follows or supports Perez supports violating child pornography laws!”

Makes sense, the girl is young and maybe Perez should stop drawing semen streaming out of people’s mouths and calling them sl*ts and so forth. But the more crap he gets, his website seems to grow.

That wasn’t the end, Perez fired back, to which Kristie Alley entered the picture and demanded everyone who follows Hilton to stop, and called him a pedophile about a billion times. Perez bit back over a dozen times involving “attorney-talk” and threatening to sue. Again, the more crap he's insulted for, his website grows.

The remarks are too much to share, but you can read them here.

The point is that perhaps Perez’s site is too much, or is it? How far do our rights go when somebody is actually insulting and defaming kids and teenagers? It’s not a secret that many dislike Perez, especially for the bad rep people think he gives the GLBT community, but his site still banks! He gets millions of views, and has partnerships with advertisers, movies, musicians, etc. He is going to be on the premiere show of Tyra Bank’s new fifth season.

OKay, and how about Twitter? Has it become a place to separate people from one another with constant reminders to why people talk less, and post more? Is Twitter the new face of technology as a way out?
