Cyberbullying[1], the main subject of this text, refers to a deliberate, repeated malicious behavior conducted online via electronic devices. This harmful act can take many forms, including but not limited to, spreading rumors, making threats, or posting demeaning or offensive comments. The aggressor often hides behind fake profiles, concealing their identity while causing distress to their targets. Cyberbullying also encompasses activities such as cyberstalking, online trolling, impersonation, and doxxing – sharing someone’s private information without their consent[4]. It’s a widespread issue occurring on various platforms such as social media[2], gaming, and dating apps. With the rise of digital technology[3], cyberbullying has become more accessible, potentially inflicting severe emotional damage to victims. Recognizing its dire consequences, many states have enacted laws and initiatives to combat this digital menace.
