Social media is the latest trend nowadays where we can do a lot of things (eg sharing, making friends, selling things, advertising, fashion tips, comments about showbiz and politics) that it can even make a person, thing, or event go trending or famous in just a few minutes.
Although it is very sad that some users abuse social media and sometimes commit crimes or cyberbullying. However, when we comment on a famous issue or on some showbiz or politician's page and others comment negatively about our own comments, is that cyberbullying already? Or is it just the right of another users as well using the social media?
What do you think we can do as users of social media to prevent or stop cyberbullying?

yes, sometimes it is hard to draw the line between freedom of speech and cyberbullying. to some people, they may just be expressing their opinions but they do not know that they are considered bullying already.

I dont think so. ever useful thing has a misuse and i think strict laws should be there to prevent bullies.

you are right rahul. unfortunately, the laws in the philippines against cyberbullying does not have much 'teeth" which is why cyberbullying is still very common.
