Why do people comment online?
From source 2 I can see that there are positive and negative feelings/comments about the internet.
Firstly, "online presence gave them a voice, and enabled them to tap into national debate". This means that they were able to express their opinions where they like and when ever they like. Additionally, this gave them the freedom of speech, meaning that the police of any authority are not able to get involved with what they are saying on the internet.
Alternatively, it is said on the next page of source 2, "many explained that they speak without in reaction to 'misinformed' and 'misguided' views, or they feel 'frustrated'." This means that people just say something without realizing that they have said it, because they were feeling so 'frustrated' their instant reaction is to retaliate.
