Cyberbullying is a form of bullying that occurs online or through the use of digital technology, such as social media, text messages, and websites. In many countries, cyberbullying is considered a crime and is punishable by law. The specific laws and penalties for cyberbullying can vary depending on the jurisdiction, but they may include fines, imprisonment, and other criminal penalties. It is important to note that cyberbullying can have serious consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator, and it is important to take steps to prevent and address this type of behavior. If you are being cyberbullied or know someone who is, it is important to seek help from a trusted adult or a qualified professional who can provide support and assistance.
