"Gwyneth Paltrow has been criticised over comparing dealing with Twitter trolls to being at war. The Hollywood actress was speaking about internet culture at a tech conference hosted by Re/Code this week.  Describing the internet as in its &amp;quot;adolescent phase&amp;quot;, she said that hearing online abuse can be &amp;quot;dehumanising&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;You come across [internet comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it&amp;#039;s a very dehumanising thing,&amp;quot; Paltrow said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanising thing, and then something is defined out of it. My hope is, as we get out of it, we&amp;#039;ll reach the next level of conscience.&amp;quot; She added that the internet &amp;quot;allows us the opportunity to project outward our hatred, our jealousy&amp;quot;, explaining: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s culturally acceptable to be an anonymous commenter. It&amp;#039;s culturally acceptable to say, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m just going to take all of my internal pain and externalise it anonymously.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; However, her remarks angered several commentators on Twitter, including Senator John McCain&amp;#039;s wife Cindy.  &amp;quot;Gweneth Paltrow is a joke. Her life is like taking bullets for a soldier. What a joke! My 2 sons serving in the military should talk to her,&amp;quot; Cindy wrote. She added: &amp;quot;Perhaps Gweneth Paltrow should go out on patrol with some soldiers. Kind of like a Red Carpet in her mind I guess!&amp;quot; Paltrow also commented that she no longer gets hurt by online users, saying: &amp;quot;I see myself as a chalkboard or a whiteboard or a screen, and someone is just putting up their own projection on it.&amp;quot; It was recently reported that Paltrow and Coldplay&amp;#039;s Chris Martin are still living together after their recent split.
