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.

Yes, a cyber bullying law was passed in Washington state in 2008. It states than any bullying, whether written, verbal, or electronic, is a crime.
Actually, online bullying is not a crime in and of itself. The act may contain other crimes (such as threats of physical violence), but they cannot be charged for "bullying".
Anti-bullying laws generally tend to tread rather heavily on First Amendment rights, so, in general, no. Certain specific types of bullying may be illegal.
Because in many cases, the victim is too frightened to report it. Therefore the 'crime' goes unpunished. Anyone suddenly becoming the subject of bullying should report it immediately.
Cyber crimes can affect people in different ways. They can become the victims of financial crimes and identity thefts through cyber crime. Cyber bullying is also considered a cyber crime.

If it is an action taken based solely on the fact that the person being ostracized (or bullied if you prefer) is gay, then it can be a civil rights violation (hate crime) depending upon the nature of the bullying.
