Cyberbully is the most brutal executioner

Everyone has the right to speak freely, but you have to take responsibility for everything one says; where the law cannot restrain, there is moral condemnation, the torture of the soul.

what is cyberbully？

In the era of network information, we have various and fast means to obtain information. Twitter, Facebook, or some online communities have a lot of gossip hot events spreading every day. However, due to the anonymity of the network, the low cost of network speech, a large number of “keyboard man”, rumors, defamation attacks were born, and at the same time, there have been many terrible incidents of network violence.

Cyberbully is a kind of harmful, insulting and inflammatory speech, pictures and videos published on the Internet.

Internet bullying is not far away from us

Two years ago, my classmates experienced a cyber violence. At that time, she just saw a group of netizens attacking a female star on Weibo, and thought it was inappropriate to speak, so she commented as follows: is this too much for her?
In such a simple sentence, her Weibo was immediately occupied by comments from netizens.
In less than half an hour, dozens of private letters and hundreds of replies were received, and endless insults and threats poured in towards her. Two hours later, her comment was pushed to the first, and the boring people began to search her, exposing her life photos, phone numbers and even her home address.
She was even threatened to find her home and harass her.
In those dark days, all kinds of harassment and threats made her unable to live a normal life. She could only ask for leave and hide at home. She dared not go anywhere, even thought of dying.
It took half a year for things to cool down. But that event has caused indelible harm in her heart. After that, she dare not speak on the Internet easily, nor browse all kinds of gossip and entertainment around the spray, because she is afraid that she will become the target of the public because of an unintentional remark.

Here’s my interview with her
Q: What’s the biggest impact on you?
A: Maybe it’s the psychological injury. Even for a long time after this incident, I didn’t use the smartphone and didn’t want to touch the Internet related things.
Q: Do you care nothing about it now?
A: I tried not to think about it deliberately, because it was a painful memory.
Q: Now we can sue the perpetrators of cyberbullying. If we could, would you sue?
A: I don’t know. I don’t think I will. I’m afraid of those who abuse me.
Q: If you encounter people who are violent on the Internet in the future, will you stand up and make a voice?
A: no………and I never play online community again.

Through the interview with her, I feel that a classmate who was cheerful and generous has disappeared and replaced by a girl who was timid and had received psychological injury.I think in order to reduce the occurrence of such things, everyone should learn how to respect people on the Internet and speak in the Internet community correctly

Refuse to be a perpetrator

As users of the Internet, we are free to speak, but sometimes we may unintentionally become the “perpetrators” of internet violence. To refuse to be a perpetrator, we need to:

1. Enhance the ability to distinguish the true and false, rumors. Many internet violence and human flesh search are caused by rumors. Don’t listen to, don’t spread rumors, don’t judge the truth of the incident with fragmented information, and kill the network violence in the cradle.
2. Stay sane and avoid being emotional. Network keyboarded man is also good at inciting netizens’ emotions and making them become the chess pieces of network violence. Therefore, we should remain sober and free from incitement to prevent exploitation.
3. Set up good ideological and moral values. In the face of all kinds of events, learn to transpose thinking and analyze in many aspects. To be tolerant and understanding, refuse to stand on the moral high ground and accuse others of keyboard chivalry.

Correct response to cyberbullying

Nowadays, there are many cyber keyboard heroes and cyber violence is rampant. If we are attacked by cyber violence, our reputation and personal rights will be damaged and our personal safety will be endangered.
But don’t be afraid. When we are attacked, we have a way to resist.

1. To clarify rumors and slanders. For unprovoked attacks, we can clarify them to the public and eliminate rumors. No need to pay attention to the noise of the mob. The truth will come out when the people are clear.
2. Seek legal aid. When online violence is harmful to our reputation and other rights, we can entrust a lawyer to ask for an apology and compensation from the perpetrator.
3. Report to relevant departments. When online violence has escalated to human flesh search and personal information has been leaked, we can complain and report to relevant departments to prevent further damage to our personal safety.
4. Keep optimistic and positive. In the face of overwhelming shelling, it may be hard for us to bear. But remember that your most trusted family and friends will support you and share difficulties with you. You can talk to them about your troubles and frustrations. Justice will win in the end. Be optimistic about it!

It’s the most basic kindness that we can do in this free and open Internet era to not speculate maliciously, not jump to conclusions, and not carry out verbal attacks at will.
