Digital Pests

Colleagues, friends, or relatives who overshare on your WhatsApp group, whom you want to kick out, because their selfish or inconsiderate behaviors pose a high risk for other members to wanting to exit the chat group.

Digital pests are spammers whose posts often compound the exponential chat in a group—if only their messages were as controversial or disruptive as Donald Trump’s tweets, they might be excused for promoting heated debates among the members.
