Life on the internet

Between Instagram and Facebook, I think Facebook has the most trolls.  I think Facebook has the most homes because of how popular it is between young adults and even older people.  As you guys my know, I believe everyone knows about the show Catfish. The show Catfish reminds of trolling in a way. A Catfish is person who did pretends to be someone else because maybe self-esteem issues or even to get back at people.  Is catfish trolling? Is someone being fake about their identity a way of trolling someone. I think is because I feel as if it causes more issues and it causes people not to trust one another. They  control peoples emotions and control peoples lives which is not good for people.
