“Sexualized online bullying”: why an equality analysis matters

This 2013 study by Jane Bailey analyzes the impact of sexualized online bullying and highlights the importance of equality in addressing such issues. The case of AB v. Bragg Communications in 2012 sheds light on the challenges faced in legal responses to cyberbullying, stressing the need for anonymity and collective action against misogyny, homophobia, and racism. The study emphasizes the harmful effects of cyberbullying on young individuals and the necessity of protective measures to prevent further victimization. It discusses the significance of anonymity in safeguarding children from online harm and advocates for legal interventions to combat cyberbullying effectively.
