The Internet has become a space where every person can have a voice, an equal opportunity to express his or her views anonymously. However, this also provides more protection towards more extreme views, and with social media&#039;s filtering and algorithms, it is becoming ever so easy to ignore views that one does not want to read. &#8220;The Comments Section&#8221; aims to explore these issues, by turning internet comments into a physical experience. <\/p>\n<p>The project involves curated online anonymous comments on certain issues that caused a storm on social media, such as GamerGate, Ferguson and the Bill Cosby scandal.
