They like dealing with the logical and dispassionate machine rather than an emotional human being. Define internet regression. What he means by regression is that people express aggressive behaviors as well as sexual ones on the internet when they would never even think of doing it in real life. The reason author gave as to why people reverts to this kind of behavior when they're on the internet is lack of inhibition. I agree with him.
People lose their inhibition when they go online because of the anonymity they have.
That anonymity is like a safety net, it makes people say and do whatever they want without the fear of consequences. I'm not sure what percentage of the population engages in internet regression. Probably everyone who has been on the internet has regressed at least once I think. The only thing I could think of that could lead to regression on the internet was the one we talked about in class, spamming. Spamming is junk mail.
