主题：Cyber Violence 梗概：Hundreds of millions of people currently use the Internet to enhance their lives and those of others. Yet a growing segment of the online population abuses the Internet for antisocial purposes, to stalk, harass and prey on other users, often with distressing effects. Internet-mediated aggression is a global phenomenon, and, disturbingly, it is on the rise,1 lending prima facie credence to the dystopian view that computer-mediated communication exacerbates bad behavior.2 To make matters worse, the tide of online violence is rising at a time when the Internet has moved from being a luxury to a necessity of daily life for educated people throughout the industrialized world. 'Cyber violence' thus stands to have negative impacts on a very large scale.
