How are you harassed electronically? And what should you do to counter this harassment ?!
You sit in front of the television, watch school drama, girls are fighting, boys wrestling, sitting sitting and remembering his lessons, and then turn the corner of the camera to another scene, a group of boys, who are playing a smaller colleague and insult him with insults and beatings, familiar is not it?
What I saw is that you are not only in the drama. The reality is full of bullying, not only in school, but in practical life as well, not only for children, but also for the adult world under the guise of harassment. What a scary term!
Harassment is defined as a series of annoying and repetitive behaviors that may affect children as adults, where the victim harasses the victim morally or physically. When these hackers have the chance to catch a smartphone or an Internet connection, all they do is transfer the damage across the screen.
When do I consider myself the victim of electronic harassment?
If you experience one or more of the following situations:
- Renunciation: To be named or abused by someone or your family.
- Intentional embarrassment: that content or behavior that causes embarrassment to you is published by someone, puts you into this behavior, or puts your family in embarrassment.
- Tracking: Be tracked electronically, access your information and appear before you on all platforms, and this electronic tracking may be part of tracking on the ground.
- Sexual Harassment: Your information or photos are sexually exploited or obscene images are sent by someone without your consent.
What causes someone to harass?
In a study conducted by the Pew Center for Internet and Technology Studies, the subjects explained the reasons for their harassment. They said that the most prominent reasons were: political orientation, physical appearance, sex, race, where men were harassed because of their political views, women were harassed because they were women . Certain human races are also being harassed on the Internet, and certain religions are insulting their adherents and practicing bullying and electronic harassment against them.
Electronic harassment is more than electronic:
Young people between the ages of 18-29 are exposed to experiences that threaten their person and their reputation more than people aged 30 or older on the Internet. To speak a little, one out of every four people has fake information or fake profiles either in his name or using his online image. 9% say that someone has misinformed their political or sexual orientation, or even their social status and scientific degrees. One of the subjects said that one of them asked her why she was lying about her university degree and accused her of fabricating. Then her husband questioned her. Even her mother questioned her about it.
It's crazy to even the nearest people may not believe you, or even may be the cause of your injury, on the tongue of one of the subjects say I saw two friends may be divided, and then began to publish each other lies and personal information about his friend. The ugliest of these is the publication of the person you previously associated with your images or information even on websites where 21% of the Americans were exposed to their free photos by their former lover / husband without their permission. Of course, the most affected are women. Some time ago, I saw a friend who had a link to a pornographic site where he found photos of people he knew, either by stealing these photos or even by reprisals from the former partner.
Sexual harassment across screens:
One of them, before I say these lines and talk about sexual harassment, will start pre-empting things after reading the title only, accusing anyone who puts her image on the Internet with deceit and delusion, and that as long as her image is filled with her replies, she will bear what she will receive. Women are the most likely to be criticized and harassed about their sex, their dress, the way they talk, especially their opinions. One participant said she was insulted immediately after publishing a pamphlet about her political opinion. One participant added that her friend had been subjected to an offensive campaign accused of being a child molester by a group of dissenting politicians.
63% of women received scandalous images of fake and even fake accounts of harassers, and as soon as they report, they return to another account and another account and continue with the communications. One participant commented that his wife was playing games online and had noted some comments about male players who were considered sexual harassment, only because they were female and nothing else. It's not just about women, men are sexually harassed but rare, for women it's horrible because it happens a lot and one of them may get nervous and quit the Internet altogether.
Freedom of opinion versus digital security:
My friend Umniah has canceled her account on Facebook because of criticism of her writings and she has expressed in a series of tweets her fear of expressing her opinion because of what she may be subjected to severe criticism which is considered a kind of "lightness" Social development. According to the study, 47% of young people aged 18-29 years "managed the profile" after their testimony of electronic harassment, say their testimony and not exposure, and 30% of them modify or hide some of their information on their personal accounts.
What I personally see on the social networking sites, which are the most important platforms that are a fertile environment for harassment, especially if your information to the public, that humans have become predators, who may disagree with you criticize him, and if God had a group of friends and also mocked and mockery of the same The person, group harassment, a group of hackers have given them Internet muscles, and you can imagine dear reader to be a tweet of someone who expresses his opinion like that harasser, and then turn this tweet to the issue of public opinion on Twitter, and then people start a match Words just for the expression of a normal person in a day My opinion. Mr Harasser, should we all have the same views that we have?
What should you do if you are harassed?
- Documentation: Copy all threats or abuse sent to you, and save it as a screenshot.
- Reporting:
- Report the offending person on the Internet and write in the communication that the person is a nuisance. Webmasters take strict action on these matters.- Legal reporting: If your country has clear and explicit laws on cyber crime, you should take documentation and report what happened to you.
Most importantly, when you have such an experience, do not take the burden alone, tell your family and friends. It can be very stressful, especially when it comes to your reputation or work, or to physical abuse or abuse of your loved ones, and not less than reporting or taking any step towards the harasser will not affect, seven out of ten who tried to take a step, Destroy that damage on them, and you can too.
