Depersonalization refers to the tendency for people to behave more aggressively or negatively towards others when they are communicating anonymously or from a distance. In this case, Noah is making a passive comment on social media, which allows him to distance himself from his colleague and potentially feel less accountable for his words. Milgram's study showed that people are more likely to behave in aggressive or negative ways when they feel that their actions are anonymous or depersonalized.
