The term '''internet troll''' refers to someone who acts in a way to disrupt or disparage others, often to attract attention to the troll. As a verb, it means commenting in an unproductive way to spark a reaction. Trolls are commonplace on any website open for comment by the public, and studies have even been done about how unhappy trolls are themselves. Trolling can also be online bullying, or cyberbullying.

[[Jesus]] explains the existence of trolls in the [[parable]] of the tares in Matthew 13:24-30, specifically [[Matthew 10-19 (Translated)#13:25|verse 25]]: '''''"But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weed in the middle of the wheat, and then left."'''''

Some entire websites such as [[Reddit]] and comment sections on newspapers serve as flypaper for trolls, attracting and keeping them away from littering more productive sites on the internet. Another example is [[Twitter]], which has become an echo chamber for leftists who lack the ability to spend time productively and instead recycle agitprop over and over.
