Observe, a case of social media harassment

Version française

Sometimes, social media are full of hateful discourses and insults...

Those behaviors can sometimes lead to harassment...

Many people used to think that online harassment is a problem of teens or young adults...

But adults can also be victims...

It's getting worse, There are more and more threats on the Internet. I've just been called to investigate on a case about online harassment.

What do you think? Let's team up so you can investigate with me, Inspector Drazel?

Nowadays one American of three has an account on Instagram... Those numbers keep growing up as well as the exposure. Instagram is one of the worst social network.

It might be a solution if people started to spend less time on those media.

Well... Bad news. The time spent on social media is growing exponentially... Damn... I need to know why people are harassed.

Well, I've searched into the victim's social interactions and look what I've found! By the way I've got a question for you. Do you know what's the main reason for harassment?

Our victim is a man. It's pretty weird, usually harassment is the concern of women. Isn't it?

So, now we know the main reasons, but I don't get why he did something like this. Crap I've got some data, but I didn't rename the folders they're in, could you help me?

Thank you, you're doing well for a beginner. We seem to be on a very serious case, I don't think it was only insults. It might be some contents that made him react. I'm going to check something.
