This source describes a prank where people used fake dating profiles to trick men into coming to Times Square for dates that were not real. The article shows how trolling can move from the internet into real life and affect people in a direct way. What stood out to me is that the prank may have looked funny to the people who planned it, but the people who were targeted were put in an embarrassing and cruel situation. This source helps show that trolling is not only about jokes or memes. It can also involve humiliation, and the harm becomes much more serious when real people are singled out in public
