Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying which involves using the on-line resources. It is a lot more popular and widespread because of the relatively high degree of anonymity most websites provide.

Cyberbullying a form of trolling, as it also tries to harm someone or drive someone mad for someone else's laughs. Unlike other forms of trolling, it is usually directed against a certain person (as opposed to a group of people). This often means the perpetrator is someone closely connected to the victim: for example, a school classmate, a relative or a former boyfriend/girlfriend.

In the last few years, the Conservative media tried to use cyberbullying as a scapegoat to demonize the Internet as a whole (again). While Liberapedia does not support cyberbullying, most here will probably agree that getting rid of anonymity or privacy online is too big a price.
