"Shame on You!" – When Mallorca Happiness Becomes a Target Online

Answer

Why does Palma’s old town feel so different from social media?

In Palma’s old town, people still react to each other face to face, so rude behaviour usually meets immediate resistance. Social media removes that direct social pressure, which can make people bolder and less careful with their words. The contrast shows why respectful behaviour can feel much weaker online than it does on the street.
