Bullying is a global problem that affects all of us at some point in our personal or business lives. This is particularly true in an era marked by the increased use of digital technologies and social media that have taken bullying online and made it harder to fight thanks to the anonymity of the internet.
Cyberbullying can be defined as the use of electronic communication to harass, intimidate or humiliate someone, and these acts increasingly fall into the realm of criminal offences. Several laws have been enacted to counter this scourge, including the Cybercrimes and Cyber Security Act of 2019, and the Protection of Harassment Act of 2011.
We gather experts from CYBER1 Solutions with experience in this area to address cyberbullying comprehensively, at the home or the office, in a dynamic dialogue that will unpack preventative measures, legal options, and psychological support.
