Non-notable, poorly sourced and copyvio
This article seems to be based solely on blog-type sources and is indeed copied largely from one. There should be good souyrces available if this is a genuine psychological concept. 86.155.16.184 (talk) 21:01, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

There are a lot of claims made in this article but exactly zero evidence for these claims. What studies have proven that people act differently only from in person? Can't it just be that the people who already act like this are more concentrated online? Why is there necessarily something different about them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serop2 (talk • contribs) 10:59, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Makes assumptions
The article also assumes (for no real reason) that people should act identical online to how they do in person and makes value-laden statements about such behaviors, calling them antisocial, harmful, toxic, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.202.217.186 (talk) 02:04, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Possible new sources
I agree with the comments above. I also think that the pop culture section should be rewritten or expanded on. I had trouble finding a link to the book La Bustina di Minerva, did anyone else? Also here's a list of new references I plan to use to improve the page: Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for the list Henao6 (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2017 (UTC)--

Citations updates
Several of the citations need to be updated: 1, 2, 7, 13, and 14. It seems that they were linked through a University Library portal. I would like to update their links to point to abstract pages that google scholar links to. While I'm at it, I'll see if any of them have relatively few citations and, if so, try to find better sources for the same information.Kgmccann (talk) 13:57, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Article Structure improvements
This article appears to be fairly disjointed, and not well organized. It could benefit from being reworked so that the flow of the article improves, and also that there is more then one section of the article, since the information on this topic is just in the lead and the first section.

Literature review improvement
I will rewrite the lead section to better define the term "online disinhibition effect" and summary other related factors. It will contain following parts: The overall flow of the article could also follow the framework above. So the lead section would just briefly introduce those factors and link to the corresponding sections. I will try to work with AllyRavenCharm36 to reorganize it.

Online Disinhibition and Pathological Internet Use
There has been a positive correlation noted between excessive online disinhibition and pathological internet use. I will begin a new section introducing this connection and use this source: http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/8193/1/186979_4626%20Griffiths%20Publisher.pdf Kgmccann (talk) 14:34, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

John Gabriel's Law
It seems terribly unencyclopedic, but this concept is inextricably linked in my mind with "John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, which can be viewed at https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19 as can subsequent thoughts from nearly a decade later. Does this not merit a backlink to Penny_Arcade -- Mdwyer (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
