According to the article, the two causes of the "online disinhibition effect" are:

A. It is easier to send rude messages than polite ones.
F. People may use fake names online to mask their identity.

1. When it is easier to send rude messages than polite ones, people may feel less inhibited to express negative or aggressive thoughts online compared to face-to-face interactions where social norms and consequences may restrict such behavior.

2. Using fake names online to mask one's identity can lead to a sense of anonymity, which can embolden individuals to behave in ways they wouldn't in real life, contributing to the online disinhibition effect. This anonymity reduces the fear of repercussions or social judgment, influencing people to act differently online than they would offline.
