00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,799
Bullying. A transaction between two parties where a larger subject in a

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,040
snake embroidered jean or leather jacket solicits money from a smaller, weaker

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:14,400
subject against his or her will. Or at least that was how it worked in the

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:19,760
1980s when David Hasselhoff and his Firebird still ruled the streets. But as

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:24,640
the tired old trend of interpersonal interaction rapidly declined in favor of

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:30,160
digital communication, it seemed we couldn't drop the nasty trend of well

7
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:34,640
being nasty to each other. In fact, the proliferation of harassment via

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:39,360
information technology networks such as hate-based websites, email slander

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,320
campaigns, and threatening phone calls had become frequent enough by 2004 that

10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:49,600
it led to a term to describe the experience of repeated and targeted

11
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:51,840
digital abuse, cyber bullying. And as it

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,879
turned out, this was just in the nick of time for the next great evolution of

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:01,680
bullying, social networking. Social media changed the bullying landscape by

14
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:07,520
giving people unprecedented access to the personal lives of well everybody.

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:12,320
74% of teenagers according to the Pew Research Center. And once the networking

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,080
services became ubiquitous with cell phones, it meant that bullies could

17
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,360
access their victims at any time and place from school to work to even home.

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,520
In fact, approximately one in three teenagers report having experienced some

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,360
form of cyber bullying. This is also according to Pew, including everything

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:34,720
from having private messages shared without permission, false rumors spread,

21
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,720
and even physical threats. So then a

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:42,240
common reaction from many who first encounter cyber harassment is to say,

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,720
well, okay, I'll just unplug everything.

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:49,119
This is easy. However, the emotional distress and stigma from bullying can

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:53,200
follow a person far beyond their pluggedin experience with victims

26
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,200
exhibiting higher incident rates of psychological problems, depression, and

27
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:01,200
substance abuse issues. According to research by the cyber bullying research

28
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,799
center and because cyber bullying disproportionately affects teenagers and

29
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:08,800
this is according to statistics Netherlands there has been concern from

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,360
organizations such as the US department of health and human services about the

31
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:17,040
effects of this type of bullying on personal development and the possibility

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,760
that it could cause emotional and behavioral issues later on in life.

33
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Thankfully, social media providers seem to agree that there's a problem, and

34
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,959
things like page visibility only upon author approval and blocking for

35
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,519
individual users have become near universal. Some services such as YouTube

36
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:41,360
take it a step further, letting users define what type of unwanted material

37
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,080
they're reporting, from unsolicited to explicit or even violent and harassing

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,080
speech. Or there's Twitch, which allows broadcasters to temporarily time out

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,599
people instead of banning them outright, giving a chance for the perpetrator's

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,680
behavior to be modified via social reinforcement. Which is not to say at

41
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:02,159
all that these features are foolproof, as it is not uncommon for miscreants to

42
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:07,360
gain them by setting up dummy accounts or even abuse them by reporting people

43
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:11,840
who have done nothing wrong. And efforts to legislate against cyber bullying

44
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,760
haven't gone swimmingly either, with reports of online bullying continuing to

45
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,680
rise, according to the Boston-based Education Development Center. On the

46
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,480
bright side, campaigns like stomp out bullying in the US and delete cyber

47
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:29,680
bullying in the EU have led to a growing awareness and a drive for people to be

48
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:31,760
proactive about this issue. Because

49
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,440
while this hasn't been a very funny episode of Techquicki, it's kind of a

50
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,280
serious issue. And if you or anyone that you know has experienced anything more

51
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,799
than, you know, the mildly irritating levels of online abuse that we all just

52
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:46,319
seem to kind of accept to the point where you feel like it's really having

53
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,879
an impact on you, it's important to reach out to nearby support because no

54
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:55,840
one deserves that kind of mistreatment. And last but not least, take care not to

55
00:03:52,879 --> 00:04:00,319
be a griefer yourself. Speaking of support, you know who will

56
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,959
