Abstract

The use of social media has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade, with platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram boasting billions of active users. Social media platforms provide users with a variety of ways to connect with others, including the ability to share photos, videos, and messages in real-time. However, this increased connectivity has also led to a rise in cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying refers to the use of electronic devices and technology, such as social media platforms, to harass, intimidate, or embarrass others. Cyber-bullying can take many forms, including spreading rumors, making threats, and posting hurtful or humiliating comments or images. Unlike traditional forms of bullying, cyber-bullying can occur 24/7, and the anonymity afforded by social media platforms can make it difficult to identify perpetrators.
