A good portion of the population in the United States has been a victim of or culprit to cyberbullying. This problem has been found across many social networking platforms, but content on Twitter tends to go viral faster. People have attempted to counter this by using public shaming as a way to deter the offender posting abusive content. Since we cannot force platforms, such as Twitter, to police the matter or restrict people’s freedom of speech something else must be done. A potentially better way of taking a preemptive strike would be to give secondary and primary school children a course on what is acceptable (and why) on social media, primarily Twitter. This might help them make well informed decisions about it later in life.
