  Actor Adam Pearson has given five words of advice to anyone facing abuse online after he was trolled over his disability at the BAFTA's. The Croydon-born actor who starred in 'A Different Man' last year said social media had opened the floodgates for people to receive 'abhorrent abuse' and had a powerful message for anyone who hides behind a screen.

The article discusses how Hollywood actor Tom Hanks has expressed concerns about the negative impact of social media on public behavior. Hanks believes that social media platforms have normalized abhorrent behavior online, where people feel free to express extreme views or engage in cyberbullying without facing immediate consequences. He reflects on how this shift has degraded the quality of public discourse, making it more aggressive and less civil. Hanks contrasts this with the past, where public figures and individuals were more cautious about their public statements due to potential repercussions. He advocates for a return to more respectful and thoughtful communication, highlighting the need for accountability and empathy in online interactions.
