Cyber Harassment
Cyber harassment refers to the use of digital platforms, such as social media, email, or messaging apps, to intimidate, threaten, or harm an individual. This behavior can include sending abusive messages, spreading false information, or sharing private information without consent. The anonymity of the internet often emboldens perpetrators, making it easier for them to engage in harmful actions without facing immediate consequences.
Victims of cyber harassment may experience emotional distress, anxiety, and a sense of isolation. It can affect their personal and professional lives, leading to a decline in mental health. Many countries have laws in place to address cyberbullying and protect individuals from such harmful behaviors.
