Adding section on networked harassment

Over the next week or so I'll try to add a section on networked harassment with the sources I've just put above (and do a section redirect from Networked harassment to the appropriate section here, but I am aware of my COI with regard to a specific implementation of networked harassment and thus opening for discussion here prior to implementing those edits. lizthegrey (talk) 17:08, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Ruben Sim Example

I feel like there are much better examples that could be used than Ruben Sim. No, he doesn't have a clean slate. But Roblox doesn't either and it has been clearly shown they do not care for child protection, and Sim's "trolling" isn't really enough to class it under cyberbullying. 114.76.242.255 (talk) 09:09, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

I agree. It also doesn't work as an example of a troll giving a terrorist threat, as it wasn't Ruben making it, it was someone else on Twitter called LordGato. While yes, Ruben is definitely a troll, these parts of Roblox's lawsuit are false. The example comes off as someone who personally dislikes Ruben and wants to include him to instigate harassment against him. Awiiwastaken (talk) 04:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

In Dating apps

Dating app users who are victims of cyberbullying encounter a range of harmful behaviors, including catfishing, the uninvited sharing of personal images, and offensive remarks. These activities not only violate personal boundaries but also have a detrimental impact on the victims' mental health.

Research by the Pew Research Center highlights how common this issue is, finding that almost 60% of female users between the ages of 18 and 34 have received unsolicited sexual messages or photographs on dating apps. Moreover, it was found that 36% of American users of dating apps have been the victim of online abuse. Dating app users are more likely to experience hate speech and cyberbullying because of this rate, which is almost twice as high as the whole American population. In addition to sexual harassment, other forms of cyberbullying and hate speech are among the most frequent forms of harassment that users of these sites report experiencing.

The fundamental safety and trust that underlie online dating sites' functionality are compromised by these upsetting encounters. Victims may experience significant effects, including elevated stress and anxiety levels and, in certain cases, chronic psychological trauma. These results demonstrate how important it is that dating apps put strong security measures in place to protect their users. Stricter user authentication procedures, enhanced channels for reporting abusive activity, and the distribution of educational materials with the goal of encouraging a more polite and secure online dating community should all be part of these protocols.
