JuicyCampus - How can you control human nature when people become anonymous?
JuicyCampus is a crazy site. If you are a student in a campus, you can write whatever you want there anonymously. The original idea was that the site would be a gossip site for college students where people could write hilarious material, or thought provoking posts.
But human nature can be very aggressive when people is protected by the anonymity. JuicyCampus is having a big issue with defamatory posts against some people. Those include insults where a person’s full name is published and accusations about “child molesters” with no evidences. Some parents think the site is not funny.
The situation has become so stressful for the site owner (Matt Ivester) and even he has published a letter in the official site blog and made a plea for decorum and decency in their posts.
Honestly, a simple letter from the founder doesn’t seem enough to control human nature. This site is simply a way to concentrate lots of hate, wickedness and heavy jokes from students.
