Related: Ethical Online BehaviorCyberbullying - National Bullying Prevention Center Just as the use of technology itself has evolved, so has the ability to bully. Bullying, once restricted to the school or neighborhood, has now moved into the online world. Bullying through the use of technology is referred to as “cyberbullying.” Cyberbullying is the use of technology to repeatedly and intentionally harass, hurt, embarrass, humiliate, or intimidate another person. As adults, thinking back, it was just a generation ago that kids and teens were asking their parents for a phone in their room — maybe even one with a separate line or three-way calling — so they could easily and somewhat privately connect with more friends.

A Net Neutrality Timeline: How We Got Here Updated:The FCC Tuesday voted 3:2 to approve an order that will enshrine the policies of network neutrality — the idea that ISPs can’t hinder or discriminate against lawful content flowing through their pipes — as regulations enforced by the commission. While legal challenges remain, and the text of the full order won’t be out for a few days, here’s the gist of what’s in store, as I explained last night: The order contains three sections that set policies around transparency, create a prohibition against blocking lawful content on wireline networks and certain types of content on wireless networks, and set up rules preventing unreasonable discrimination. More analysis will come later. Update: Here’s the release discussing the order, and the full order itself will come in a few days.
Survey Finds Cyberbullying Common Among Adults Created: 10/23/2014 7:06 PM KAALtv.com By: Dan Conradt (ABC 6 News) -- It's a behavior born out of the new generation of technology, and it might be more common than you think. A new survey says 40 percent of adults have experienced cyber-bullying. The report by the Pew Research Center found that nearly three-fourths of American adults who use the internet have witnessed online harassment. "To me bullying is like picking on someone who has less power than you and making the feel worse than they already do,” said Austin High School freshman Jimena Corona. A big part of the problem is the anonymity that comes with the cyberworld.
Monica Lewinsky releases new anti-cyberbullying campaign Monica Lewinsky has released a new anti-cyberbullying campaign video in an attempt to stop the 'silent' epidemic from impacting more people's lives, while detailing her own personal experience with bullying. The campaign video is the third in a powerful series of ads aiming to inform the public about the dangers of cyberbullying and why it should be considered a health epidemic. For Monica, the message is a personal one after the bullying she experienced in 1998 when she went from a private citizen to a public figure after the affair between herself and President Bill Clinton was revealed. Sending a message: Monica Lewinsky shared her third campaign ad showing the 'real-life consequences' of cyberbullying
Cyber-Bullying and its Effect on our Youth Between texting, social media, and online gaming, many children spend more time engaging online than they do interacting in person. As technology continues to revolutionize the way we communicate, it also presents new areas of concern. Even though it may not take place in person, the emotional and psychological effects of online bullying are just as destructive as physical and verbal bullying, according to Jennifer N. Caudle, DO, an AOA board-certified family physician from Philadelphia. Cyberbullying Bullies and mean girls have been around forever, but technology now gives them a whole new platform for their actions. The old "sticks and stones" saying is no longer true — both real-world and online name-calling can have serious emotional consequences for our kids and teens. It's not always easy to know how and when to step in as a parent. For starters, most kids use technology differently than we do. They're playing games online and sending texts on their phones at an early age, and most teens have devices that keep them constantly connected to the Internet. Many are logged on to Facebook or Tumblr and chatting or texting all day.
Cybercrime impacts half of Brits With the recent iCloud hacks, news of cybercrimes against celebrities have hogged the media spotlight. What's less reported, yet equally significant, is how many average Brits fall victim to cyber attacks each year. The figures released by Get Safe Online -- a joint public private internet safety initiative -- found that 51 percent of the population has fallen victim to cases of hacking, identity theft and online abuse, and as a consequence, felt "very" or "extremely" violated by the experience. "Our research shows just how serious a toll cybercrime can take -- both on the wallet and the well-being," said Tony Neate, Chief Executive of Get Safe Online. "Unfortunately, this is becoming more common now that we live more of our lives online." While the National Fraud and Intelligence Bureau revealed that a whopping £670m is lost through online fraud annually, given the amount of cases, which go unreported, figures are estimated to be significantly higher.
Online disinhibition effect Online disinhibition is the lack of restraint one feels when communicating online in comparison to communicating in-person.[1] Possible influencing factors toward online disinhibition include anonymity, invisibility, asynchronous communication, empathy deficit, in addition to individual factors like personality and culture background.[2][3][4] The manifestations of such effect could be in both positive and negative directions. Thus online disinhibition could be classified as benign disinhibition or toxic disinhibition.[1] Classifications[edit] Another type of online disinhibition is called toxic disinhibition which represents a phenomenon of online flaming and inappropriate behaviors that often contain hostile language, swearing, and even threats.[1] This norm describes the negative side effect of the loss of inhibition on the cyberspace. However, the distinction between benign and toxic online disinhibition is not always clear. Influencing factors[edit]
Cybercrime now becoming a serious problem for many Britons Many Britons have been the victim of a cybercrime such as identity theft, hacking or abuse on social media, new research has found. UK losses from online fraud are now running at more than £670m a year, though with many cases going unreported, the true economic cost is likely to be significantly higher. The data – which follows the outcry over private photos of celebrities published by hackers – was produced to coincide with Get Safe Online Week, which runs until 26 October and is aimed at raising awareness of internet security issues. Just over half (51%) of the 2,075 people surveyed said they had been a victim of online crime, a category which includes internet-based fraud, ID theft, hacking and online abuse.

The Radio 2 star was taunted by sick internet trolls who attacked her for publically claiming that she had been indecently assaulted by Rolf Harris while interviewing him on live TV. Her fiancé Ben Ofoedu told the Sunday Express: "Vanessa and I welcome the change in the law which we hope will help people to increase their compassion quotient."
