Why do people act like such jerks online?

Well because in the virtual world identities are hidden so there are no consequences for our actions since we don't actually "know" each other, we are only virtual friends! It's not like we're really gonna meet somewhere

Because they have nothink elce beter to do with their lifes

bcause we can't see their faces and since we don't know who they are, they will do cowardly things and insult people they don't even know.

Because they can be what they want and no one knows them?

Ты must be new here.
