“The standards have fallen because now everybody has a platform. Just like 20 years ago if you wanted to anything put out, you go to the OX magazine or People or Hello or if you just give birth to a child, they can sell your pictures but now you can put it on Instagram, nobody really cares about that anymore,” she said.
“Now everyone has a platform and they fell they can write anything about anybody and they will get people to criticize and troll,” she said.
Linda also talked about the Nigerian government’s plan to regulate blogging in Nigeria.
According to her, the decision is not necessary because she believes it will be difficult to regulate what people do in the cyberspace.
