Facebook Could Introduce 'Anonymous Comments' And People Are Worried It'll Only Feed The Trolls

If you're the type of person who gives people abuse in the comment section, I reckon you need to have a serious reassessment of your life. I think we can all agree that trolling is for people who have way too much time on their hands - online abusers need to grow up.

Well now Facebook could be making a change to the way people comment on posts and photos, with IOSAppChanges reporting that a new 'private comment' feature is on its way.

This could potentially mean trolls being able to say what they want anonymously, which would likely mean they could get away with harsher and harsher comments on people's profiles without having to be accountable for their words.

There's yet to be news on whether people would have to agree to allowing anonymous comments - in the same way people can choose who can comment on their statues - but it would probably be a sensible suggestion.

What do you reckon lads, would this new feature just feed the trolls?
