Thank you for your continued support.

We realize Cyber-Bullying is an issue across the board.  We are not only concern about YouTube creators, anyone bullied on the internet is included in our fight to enforce existing policies and to heighten the awareness of the problem and get Congress to create more stringent laws to stop the harrassment, doxxing, threats and evil actions against people who want to use their rights to express and comment.

Cyberbullying isn't solely limited to younger demographics; adults also experience online harassment and cyberbullying. Here are some statistics reflecting cyberbullying among adults:

Prevalence among Adults:

While research often focuses on younger demographics, studies indicate that around 1 in 5 American adults have experienced some form of online harassment or cyberbullying.
Workplace Cyberbullying:

Workplace cyberbullying is a significant concern. Approximately 7% of American adults report being bullied or harassed online in a work-related context.

Social Media and Adults:

Adults are active on social media, and around 30% of adult social media users have witnessed harassing behavior online.
Gender Disparities:

Research suggests that women are more likely to experience cyberbullying and online harassment compared to men. They often face more severe forms of harassment, including sexual harassment and stalking.
Impact on Mental Health:

Cyberbullying can have severe consequences for adults' mental health. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and stress due to online harassment.
Underreporting:

Similar to younger demographics, adults also tend to underreport instances of cyberbullying due to various reasons, including a lack of awareness of reporting mechanisms, fear of retaliation, or feeling that authorities won't take appropriate action.
Professionals and Public Figures:

Professionals and public figures, including politicians, celebrities, and influencers, often face targeted cyberbullying due to their public visibility. The impact can be significant on their mental well-being and professional life.
Legal and Professional Repercussions:

Cyberbullying among adults can have legal and professional consequences. Laws regarding online harassment and defamation can vary by region, and perpetrators might face legal action if their actions violate laws.
Understanding that cyberbullying affects adults as well as younger individuals is crucial in addressing the issue comprehensively. Creating awareness, providing resources for reporting, and establishing supportive communities are essential steps in combating cyberbullying across all age groups.
