BEZBJEDNOST I CYBERBULLYING
SECURITY AND CYBERBULLYING

Summary/Abstract: Cyberbullying has become a widespread problem in modern digital communication environments. Social media platforms, messaging applications and online communities enable individuals to interact via large networks, but these same technologies can also enable harassment, intimidation and persistent online bullying. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying is often amplified by the characteristics of digital platforms, including anonymity, rapid information sharing and permanent visibility of content. This paper examines cyberbullying from the perspective of digital security and online platform design. It analyses the mechanisms through which cyberbullying develops in digital environments, the psychological and sociological factors that influence aggressive online behavior and the technological systems used to detect harmful interactions. Special attention is paid to cybersecurity mechanisms such as automated moderation systems, behavior monitoring tools and platform governance structures that aim to reduce harassment in online spaces. The analysis shows that cyberbullying arises from the interaction between user behavior and the technological architecture of digital platforms. Addressing this problem therefore requires an integrated approach that combines security technologies, responsible platform governance, and greater awareness of digital communication practices. Strengthening these elements can contribute to safer online environments where harmful behavior is more effectively detected, limited, and prevented.
