How One Woman's Digital Life Was Weaponized Against Her

I'm also not sure what conclusions to draw.

- There is this weird idea, that one does not need to meet another person in real life in order to build a real, meaningful relationship.

- Internet is a great place, but it also provides venue for people, that want to get outraged and want to get involved in conflicts, that under normal circumstantions they would never even hear of.

Is there any study on the consequences of such harassment?

I believe the conclusion to draw from the article is that people can be terrible, and with the advent of the internet people can be terrible in new ways that draw from your past, more easily.
