Cyber Bully Branconnier's garage? I think you read the national enquirer to often. You'll get to read about it in my book. Cyberbullying is a type of harassment using new technology. Whether it is criminal harassment depends on the facts of a case. Cyberbullies use social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube), blogs, texting, instant messaging, and other internet avenues to engage in deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour intended to harm, embarrass, or slander someone. Although their work is public, cyberbullies are anonymous and it is often harder to identify and stop them.Cyberbullying may also be defamation. The Criminal Code (section 300) outlaws publishing a "defamatory libel" – material published, without lawful justification or excuse, likely to injure the reputation of any person by exposing them to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or designed to insult the person. But criminal defamation is rare. More common is civil defamation – communication about a person that tends to hurt their reputation. Script 240, called “Defamation: Libel and Slander”, has more on this.What can you do if someone is stalking, harassing, or cyberbullying you? First, if the harassment is attempted communication with you, tell the person to stop. Otherwise, they may not know that they are harassing you. Otherwise, never reply to harassing messages. Call the police to report the problem. Record the details of every incident, including time, date, place, who was involved, and what was said and done.
