The Internet has made it possible to connect many people who would otherwise never have communicated in their lives. A way to create different bonds more or less strong. On the other hand, it also comes with a dark side: some people feel that it is possible to say out loud whatever comes to mind. This includes silly and nasty insults while forgetting that behind the profiles are other human beings.
Just Riadh is a content creator on Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok and YouTube, among others. Inevitably, this comes with a base of success but also people who don't appreciate the work he does. In itself, this is quite normal, however, the young man was surprised to see, beyond criticism, hurtful and insulting comments about him, his family, etc. With the media Brut, he wanted to discuss with those who sent rather offensive messages in order to understand why individuals act in this way.
Here, in this excerpt from the full documentary offered on the mobile application of Brut, he speaks with Thomas, 19, who expressed a virulent criticism of the behavior he had had in a live on Tik Tok. However, the young man in double degree history-geography in Créteil admits himself that he would never have this kind of words in the street knowing that it could degenerate. On the networks, there are virtually no consequences to nastiness.
