Currently, an average of 80,000 comments per week are published online – and the trend is rising. The digital public is active and hungry for debates. However, this development is clouded by quickly digressing, destructive or even aggressive tendencies in the discussions. A precedent for this course of the discussion is the debate in the article »More registered acts of violence in relationships« from November 24th, 2017. Ethnicity and religion are eaten here for generalizations and are used as an argumentative basis. Feeling truths become facts. The platform becomes a digital get-together .
