What is Online Trolling and Harassment?
Online trolling is the act of deliberately posting provocative, offensive, or disruptive messages on social media, forums, or other digital platforms to cause distress, anger, or confusion. Trolling can include sarcastic comments, personal insults, or even coordinated campaigns of abuse.
Cyberbullying is a form of online harassment that involves repeated, targeted intimidation or humiliation of an individual. The intent is often to harm the victim’s reputation or emotional wellbeing.
