Preventive measures to combat cyberbullying via social media.

Abstract

  The study focuses on preventive measures to combat cyberbullying via social media platforms, addressing their negative impact on individuals and communities in the digital age. Combatting cyberbullying is an urgent necessity, given its threat to the safety and health of individuals, and its harmful effects on their psychological and social well-being. The problem lies in the numerous challenges facing efforts to combat cyberbullying, such as the difficulty of identifying perpetrators and the rapid spread of crimes. The study employed a descriptive-analytical approach, focusing on describing and analyzing preventive measures against this crime, using a comparative method to compare and analyze different measures adopted in this context. The study concluded that cyberbullying poses a direct threat to the safety and health of victims, resulting in serious psychological and social effects. The study recommended adopting the concept of preventive legislative policies and the development of innovative mechanisms to effectively detect fake accounts and identify genuine account owners. Additionally, it emphasized the need for cooperation between administrative authorities and internet service providers to develop effective mechanisms for monitoring and preventing harmful content on social media platforms.
