Cyberbullying refers to the use of digital technologies, such as social media platforms, websites, text messages, emails, or online forums, to harass, intimidate, or humiliate individuals or groups. Unlike traditional bullying, which typically occurs in person, cyberbullying involves the use of electronic communication to target victims with harmful or hurtful messages, images, or actions.
The Internet offers immense opportunities for communication and learning, yet it’s vital for children to prioritize safety and precautionary measures. Children and teenagers often underestimate online risks, like the potential for libel or cyberbullying, exemplified by an ongoing lawsuit against thousands of Twitter users for spreading defamatory claims.
