Cyber bullying occurs when there are technologically savvy predators online that prey on unsuspecting victims. There are various reasons for online bullies to attack othe
rs such as for personal reasons between people who know each other but do not necessarily interact in the same circle of friends, those who are rivals from the same workplace or school, those bullies who upgrade from physical to mental harassment and there are those who randomly pick on an innocent bystander out of jealousy, discrimination and sheer enjoyment at others’ expense. It is also a common social threat where many cases have been reported globally. That is, due to the availability of technology all over the world there are also flaws attached to its uses and the internet is so vast that similar problems can be found in both western and eastern countries.
Cyber harassment is one of the main reasons for the deterrence of users from social sites and its benefits. For example, there are those who may have stated their opinion about something on a social site and in return, earned themselves a ‘cranky’ online stalker who goes out of their way to embed their ‘flaming’ messages all over the other’s page. Not everybody would be an avid user of social sites like Twitter, Bebo, MySpace and Facebook because of such hassles but sometimes it is enough to have use email systems than having to update personal webpages and meeting ‘weirdos’.

This is an irritating issue because abusers use fear to gain hold of those on the end of the network which can become life threatening if it gets out of control. There are peop
le’s rights to consider when interacting with others online especially if people begin to cross moral boundaries. For instance, there are countries which are very dependent on the internet such as Asia where it is the norm to be interacting online. These online communities are known as netizens (internet citizens) who thrive on gossip and other forms of news on their favoured local celebrities and most of the time they are fans with obsessive issues. It does not seem like much when it is an individual but in numbers they can be difficult to avoid.
