Description

Our online life is real life. We walk, talk, work, LOL and even love on the Internet – but we don’t always treat it like real life. Host Veronica Belmont explores this disconnect with stories from the wilds of the Web – and gets to the bottom of online issues that affect us all. Whether it’s privacy breaches, closed platforms, hacking, fake news, or cyber bullying, we the people have the power to change the course of the Internet, keeping it healthy, weird, and wonderful for everyone. IRL is an original podcast from Mozilla.


For behind-the-scenes video of IRL Trailer production, and a bit more about why we're making this podcast, check out our blog.

It is broken cuz the social media devs allow for anonymity on their sites while they lack stringent censorship or ip bans for bullies. People who bully others are a prob too. It often is inadequate young adults bullying others, who are often kids. That should be illegal and made law as kids have committed suicide from cyber bullying. It's sick how many biased ppl there are out there but we can deter it with regulations on bullying and requirement of sites to do daily censorship of troll.profane. Hate comments. Try are aware and apartently don't care seeing how long it takes to get a hate comment string removed

The Internet is not broken. The Internet lets people become "anonymous". Anonimity shows the true person. Therefore people are broken, not the Internet.
