This document discusses cyber-bullying from social, economic, and political perspectives. It provides examples of notable overseas and local cyber-bullying cases that have resulted in suicide or public shaming. There is debate around how to define and legislate against cyber-bullying given issues around anonymity, widespread sharing of information, and balancing public interests. Several jurisdictions have pursued legislation but defining and enforcing laws against cyber-bullying poses challenges.
