As a YouNow Moderator, what would you do if you came across a user who was insulting a broadcaster? *

I expect technology to help people express themselves and bring them closer; and as I delved into my passion for psychology and counseling, I've gained skills for understanding social connections, and making better relationships. Also, as a bachelor in Law and IT Security enthusiast, I understand and value peace preserving policies and rules, and also the internet trolls's desire to break them.
