The Daily Digest: Toxic Twitter Trolls

Will Poulter, who appears as Colin Ritman in the interactive Netflix drama Bandersnatch is ‘stepping back’ from Twitter after memes showed up on the site that centered on the eccentric looks of his character on the show. On the show today, we discuss the differences between hate and free speech and also discuss the psychology behind internet trolls.
