Those who use SWIM assume that they can say pretty much whatever they feel like in an online forum without any social or legal consequences. Or that they could get away with it because they are only reporting what someone else did. This article delves deeper into the SWIM culture and why it's widespread among young adults, especially those using illegal drugs.
We'll also talk about how young people perceive the risk of their participation in a public forum and how they manage to conceal their identity.

Neal Caren , a sociology professor who created a video series on web scraping, says this is not a highly technical process. Web scraping is great for analyzing trends through large amounts of text, according to Caren. Other times, they say they are asking for a friend, even though this is often not the case. Most users seem unconcerned with disclosing their illegal activities, Martin points out.
